Our source on the nuisance house on the 3800 block of Marengo tells Altadenablog today that the big heapin' piles of trash have been removed.  (Recap:  house in middle-class neighborhood was found to be a pot farm and busted in early August — it was cleaned up, but all the trash was piled in the driveway — and there it sat — and the county couldn't/wouldn't touch it because it was on private property).

The trash was removed late last week by the county after it mysteriously moved from the driveway to the public gutter (rumor has it the trash-moving angels wear badges and drive in black-and-white vehicles).  Our source pronounces herself happy with the outcome, as are we, but the empty house remains a potential problem.
