I was born in Lafayette, Louisiana and spent most of my time through high school in the state of Texas. Following that I made a big jump and moved to Laramie, Wyoming where I attended the University of Wyoming and received a degree in Marketing. I love the outdoors and often go camping, hiking, climbing and skiing. When I'm not outside I can be found tinkering around and experimenting with electronics. I'm also a huge movie buff with a huge collection that could rival a rental store (Do those still exist?). There are lots of great movies out there but none can beat Tommy Boy in my book; comedy rocks! At Townsquare Media Corporate, I work with the Live Events and Digital departments running the websites and Social Media for concerts and festivals in cities across the US.

Ask The City – Can The City Help Clean Up West Laramie?
Your Question:
I'm curious as to why the city of Laramie does NOT enforce ordinances in West Laramie (particularly the Clark Street, Hodgeman, Rail road street side)? The nuisance ordinance with respect to junk cars in yards, trash, old boats, etc... That neighborhood is an eye sore and people should be cited for collecting junk cars and not cleaning up their yards!!
