2012 Flashback: Controversy Comes to Mobile Home Park

The closing of Walden Pond Mobile Home Park left residents in a bind.

It's almost time to say goodbye to 2012. But before we do, we're taking a look back at some of the stories that highlighted what was going on in West Pasco this past year.

The topic of this edition:  The controversy that arose around Walden Pond Mobile Home Park.  Earlier this summer, the mobile home park's owners ordered residents to leave, but failed to follow legal guidelines for eviction. Since then, some residents have vacated the park; others have remained behind. The city razed crumbling trailers  and clean up the park, and officials agreed to send the bill for that work to the park owners.
