I am very concern about theses vacant homes in the Osborn Community….I was thinking maybe if we the community can join together and board the houses up and cut the grass at least I think it would make it a little safe for the kids to walk to and from school…they cant even walk on the sidewalk on most streets….help us PLEASE
