BLOG: Poor Lighting on Ebenezer Road

lighting on EBENEZER ROAD

Now that rec football and cheerleading is in full practice, and it's getting darker as we pick up our kids from practice at 8.30 pm.—just a reminder to beware of poor lighting as kids and parents cross the streets to get to their cars, since many park in the Perry Hall Square Shopping Center on Ebenezer Road. There is only lighting on one side of the street.

It's a shame that the county does not not consider our kids important enough to put additional lights up on the shopping center side across from the fields.

It's a shame there isn't enough money for it?
Remember this, when certain factions of our federal government want to completely slash federal spending, including block grants to states to facilitate some of this. Not that blame shouldn't fall on local government as well. Unfortunately, previous mismanagement has done far greater wrongs, such as building schools with no A/C. This is a great PSA though. Thanks for it. I'll be extra mindful if I drive Ebenzer in the evening hours. Actually, once winter gets here, I'll be driving the part near the middle school several times a week (returning from the Y)

This place is awesome. Used it a lot when my kid was 2-3. If I had another, I'd not hesitate to takeRead More him here. Then again, I watched my kid like a hawk - and you know, actually played WITH him - while we were there. As a result, my kid never came close to being injured by another unruly kid. Just saying.

My sister-in-law actually played with my nephew too Tim. Unlike EVERY OTHER single parent that wasRead More there. However, you can't tie your child to you. They came there to play. Bullies move very quick. When my nephew fell and was visibily scared, not a single parent except for one even noticed. Nobody from the library was in site. You are right that if parents were required to pay attention to their children then there would not be an opportunities for bullies because the parents of those bullies would be watching them also. When the group came from a religious school in Pikesville this is exactly what happened. All the parents stayed with their kids. All other parents, with little exception stayed in a waiting room talking amongst themselves paying little attention to their children. My nephew has been to all kinds of playgrounds and never been attacked by older kids before. Next time, if my nephew is attacked by an older child I will urge my brother to call the police and press charges against the parent. However, irreponsible Storyville need not worry -- won't be back there. Just wish our tax dollars weren't supporting this.

Let me put this in more practical terms. 1. My sister-in-law suggests that the bully seemed about 8Read More years old and probably shouldn't have been left at Storyville to begin with. There is no ID system at Storyville for childs age. 2. The bully caused various kinds of mayhem. Knocking down things, shouting, etc. No one from the library is actually in Storyville so there was no disciplinary action taken such as removing the child. 3. Parents should not view Storyville as a babysitter and not be allowed to congregate in the waiting area, leaving their children to play alone. 4. Items that could be used to cause serious injury should be removed from Storyville. 5. Cameras. If an 8 year old hits a 3 year old at Storyville where parents are suppose to be watching their children, I want proof for a court case. Yes, it's a shame it can't just be a pleasant place to take your kids but it isn't. It is filled with unrully children and uninterested parents. A child SHOULD NEVER leave a library with two bruises across his face EVER.
