Become part of something bigger then you could ever be by yourself
Mike Whitty
Welcome to Mr. Mike's Neighborhood
My name is Mike Whitty, and along with Linda Varee, we'd like to Welcome you to Mr. Mike's Neighborhood. Some of you may recognize me from my walks around the park, or others may have passed by my beautiful garden. But I'm a 12 year resident, own my home, and am planning on spending the rest of my years in this beautiful park. And it's for this reason that I'm offering my Neighbors, Mr. Mike's Neighborhood. I want every Neighbor to enjoy this Community as much as I do; to know your Neighbors, to take pride in your Community, to have a vested interest in making your, and your Neighbors time here as enjoyable and memorable as possible. And more importantly, to have some fun. Plus, you'll experience the pride in knowing that you had a hand in it.
THE AMAZING POTHOLE TOUR
- IMPORTANT NEWS -
As many of you know, Mr. Mike's Neighborhood was created to provide help to those Neighbors in need at Lafayette Place. But there was always a larger goal on the horizon; to help mobile home residents across the country navigate a mobile home industry that is not always transparent to them.
So, we've upped our program to the next level by creating a website that is more generic to the mobile home industry than Mr. Mike's Neighborhood, and also includes much more information on virtually every question a mobile home resident would ask.
The website is called, Mobile Home Resident and can be accessed at www.mobilehomeresident.com. This website currently has over 90 articles that will educate mobile home residents, and provide information that will help them make better decisions, and answer the many questions they may have.
All future articles will be on the Mobile Home Resident website, so visit it often. This website will be used strictly for Lafayette Place business.
Services provided by Mr. Mike's Neighborhood will not change. We will still be here for our Neighbors.

SUN COMMUNITIES REFUSES A DISPENSATION
FOR MR. MIKE'S NEIGHBORHOOD
I've been trying to get a dispensation from Sun Communities to be able to pass out my newsletters to each home like I used to, but they said "NO" because I'd be "IMPEDING ON YOUR PRIVACY." I tried to have Sun Communities to allow me to knock on my Neighbors door to see if I can remove the weeds on your patio sidewalks, but they said "NO" because they would accuse me of "RESIDENT ANNOYANCE." I tried to get Sun Communities to let me help clean the weeds from our curbs, but they said "NO" because they don't allow "VOLUNTEERISM" in our Community. So, Miss Linda and I agreed that we would no longer help Sun Communities, our Park Manager Nicolette Chamberlain, and our Office Manager Marsha Davis with anything that would help them with our Community to include picking up the trash in the Park and putting the trash cans back to your homes, which we received many, many thanks from our Neighbors. Keep coming to the website for further news.
