MOUNT CARMEL - This week's "sore spot" is the abandoned home at 345 S. Locust St.

According to current Code Enforcer Robin Williams, the borough routinely cuts grass at the property, and neighbors have complained that the building is infested with rats. Half of the front porch is missing.

Featured in this week's "bright spot" are the homes adjoining this week's "sore spot." Although next to an eyesore, owners of these homes continue to upkeep their properties. They decorate their houses with holiday wreaths and garland.
