So yesterday I wrote once again about the animal house- like- party house located at 985 Mount Pleasant Ave, Wayne PA. It is located in Tredyffrin Township in what they call the “panhandle” of Tredyffrin.
Mt. Pleasant is actually a historic area and it was an early black settlement in Chester County and the Main Line. Every year for years there have quite the collection of students wreaking havoc there off campus most weekends. The residents refer to one house at 985 Mount Pleasant Avenue as the blue tarp house because the students hang blue contactor tarps to shield their keggers from view.
These kids off campus in this neighborhood are horrible from year to year. Everyone expects college kids to be college kids, right? So why is it from year to year the off campus students can’t have fun without trashing this neighborhood?
This weekend’s parties resulted in a lot of neighbor chatter. Kids vomiting in the street, urinating in public (including girls), trash, open containers, driving like crazy, etc.
Again, if they wanted to be good neighbors and have fun, they could. But they don’t. They are terrible. So I wrote about it yesterday.
Here are screenshots from the actual neighbor chat regarding these parties this weekend:
Well one college student didn’t like my commenting/writing about this:
“get a life fat granny ur kids don’t love you”
IP 153.104.35.63
And dude wasn’t hard to find. He used his real e-mail address and his IP address gave a nice Villanova University location. In Radnor Township no less.
Oh yeah, the IP address of it all:
I will admit that I shot back a snotful reply and called him a twat waffle. I suggested not so bright to use his real email etc. Then I blocked that email address and IP.
Welp, the indignant Villanova student had to leave another comment:
u want my phone number too? social secuirty? ur so cool you can track my IP the FBI should recruit you. Maybe it would give you something better to do than stalk college children during a holiday you predatory creep
IP 153.104.34.226
And again…the IP address told the Villanova story again:
So I told him I was going to go to Villanova directly. He was harassing me and for what? Because I said college kids going to parties at 985 Mount Pleasant shouldn’t be drunken jerks? Shouldn’t piss in/on the street? Shouldn’t vomit in the street? Shouldn’t leave trash everywhere? Shouldn’t drive recklessly in a neighborhood where there are little kids with their buddies hanging out of the trunks of cars? I told him also he was not quite a child, although definitely acting like one. Then I blocked that IP and fake e-mail.
And I did go to Villanova with the comments and IP addresses etc. Not that anything will probably happen. They still can’t control the off campus student population. I have never thought they tried particularly hard. They do have this nifty off campus booklet now:
These are the two of my favorite pages:
Sadly, I do not know where they found the students in the brochure because they obviously don’t hang out at Villa Blue Tarp.
So I hope that college jackass likes his five minutes of fame. I sent it to the Dean of Students at Villanova. I told him what I had written about previously. Maybe it will make an impression and give the residents of Mount Pleasant and other off campus student housing plagued neighborhoods some peace. We were all that age once. Away from home, testing limits and boundaries. But oddly I do not recall trashing people’s neighborhoods and being miserable drunken neighbors.
College students can have fun without acting like every weekend is a reincarnation of animal house. These students don’t get that the neighbors wouldn’t care if they weren’t so damn loud, drunk, and obnoxious. But real people live around these off campus student houses.
I lived next door to one once upon a time, until a slum lord’s cheap roofer decided to do roof repairs on a windy enough day that the roof caught on fire and the house burned to the ground. And you know who contacted Villanova to make sure that the school found them places to stay and contacted parents etc? Oh that would have been me. And that house was horrible with the parties and super rude inhabitants. We would wake up and there would be like 20 cars on their lawn, and then cars on our lawn, neighbors’ lawns etc. But still when those kids needed help, the 24/7/365 neighbors were there. That is what is being part of a community is about. Hopefully they get that some day.
So yes, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day and yo Erin Go Bratty.
Love, Fat Granny. kiss kiss.
