Sightly and unsightly

A regular "Unionville in the News" reader wrote to me praising the Garden Media Group for disciplining the hedge at its West State Street office. He said that before it was pruned back, the overgrown hedge obstructed the view of motorists pulling out from Washington Street: "It didn't matter if you were in a Prius or an SUV, you couldn't see. And, of course, as soon as you pulled out that far, someone coming west on State Street wanted to turn left into Washington (which they do frequently, mostly to reach the Wawa) and you had to back up, if you could, or the oncoming car had to swing wide around you. A tough, dangerous situation."
On the other side of the Goofus/Gallant ledger, though, he said he picked up 13 bottles and cans that litterers had dropped along Onix Drive, near the Sears Hardware, Applebee's and Wal-Mart. "It's just a shame that folks throw anything out of their cars, but especially recyclables.  I just don't understand not recycling anything that can be recycled.  And I still enjoy seeing Mrs. Hannum's signs along Doe Run Road: "The views are free. Keep them litter-free."
