Colonial Settlement

We thought we'd let you know about our neighborhood Blodgett/Waltham this
evening - It is no exaggeration to say that around 100 cars, almost all from
outside of the neighborhood, are parked on the streets - a number of cars parked
on the wrong side of the street - apparently all of the occupants of those cars
are attending a party at a house in the middle of Waltham.  Although the party
is a block away, we can hear it in our houses even with the windows closed.
We did call the police to alert them about the party; they said they were aware
of it, but as long as the party was reasonably contained the police would not
interfere with it.  Our major concern is that with that many party goers
obviously intoxicated, if a disagreement/fight did break out, it could turn into
a difficult to contain riot.   And a  continuing concern many of us have is that
our property values will decline even further as it appears that the tenants
renting from absentee landlords on Waltham haven't any regard or responsibility
for the neighborhood.  We're not sure where  to registrar our complaints or even
if such letters would even get any attention.

Peace will be realized only by forging bonds of trust between people at the
