First off, happy 5th birthday to me. It has been exactly 5 years to the day that I have officially launched the blog http://ampmsucks.blogspot.com/ with the single focused goal of getting BP to clean up their AMPM Store at 5620 MLK. If you would have read through the blog you would know that I have turned them in countless times to the DPD, the police, the community and anyone and everyone else I could think of. Including this post where I actually provided the police with photos of AMPM workers taking the trash off of their property and dumping it in the yard of a nearby abandon house!

Please excuse me if I sound a little short fused about this, but after 5 years of begging and pleading I am running out of patience. 5 YEARS! It is no wonder that BP is consistently rated as one of the worst polluters on the planet, they can't even be bothered to pick up the trash around their little convenience store here in Columbia City.

The only silver lining from this massive oil spill disaster is that it calls more attention to just how terrible of a company BP is. They are bad for the planet, they are bad for America, they are bad for the community and they are bad for you.

Seems like this ought to be in violation of at least these:
■Inoperable or junk cars parked in yards.
■Junk stored outside in residential zones, including discarded or used building materials, scrap metal, car parts, and old furniture

I've lost track of how many times I've written BP asking them to clean up their property here in Columbia City but it is obvious that they are a company with a deep lack of concern for the environment and for the community. Please act locally by not supporting BP, especially not patronizing the AMPM store at 5620 MLK. These photos that I am including here are from trash dumped at their site and abandon vehicles which they have refused to clean up.
