Can we at least hide it behind trees?

Posted August 23, 2009 11:00 pm

Hoffman Estates has done such a beautiful job of upkeep when it comes to the Poplar Creek Golf Course and Seascape. Landscape has always been detailed and very attractive, adding to our community and the environment.

Over time Poplar Creek Golf Course removed a beautiful landscaped berm of flowers at the corner of Golf and Moon Lake Blvd. In place of plant life and a breathtaking floral view they have placed an "outhouse".

The doors and water fountain to serve the golfers faces the street. What a lovely greeting to our community.

I inquired about this, one of my concerns being that it is an invitation for others to use it inappropriately as well as a target for graffiti. However, I was told that extra money went in to this project to make this "outhouse" attractive to the public.

Please plant some trees so this building is not what one sees as they drive down Golf or Moonlake Blvd.
