Old North Neighborhood Cleans Up
|
Following a long established tradition (at least two years!), your neighborhood
recently got together to celebrate National clean-up Day by cleaning up our own
neighborhood. Meeting at 9 in the morning on Saturday, April 13, this hardy
group were issued plastic bags and gloves by Donna and Tom Brechko.
(The bags and gloves were furnished by the national campaign.) We then proceeded
to scour the neighborhood picking up any and all trash we found. And boy did we
find some trash! I will not go into the gory details in case you are reading
this while eating a meal, but suffice to say that it is obvious that not all of
the people who frequent our neighborhood are law abiding citizens and some of
them are down right weird. But we also had the opportunity to meet and talk with
some of our neighbors along the way. We were even given some iced tea by the new
owner of the J-Bo’s market formerly Gordo’s. It was much appreciated.
After working our way along Scott, Oklahoma, Armstrong, Glenwood, Cornelia,
Anderson and various streets in between, everyone regrouped at the Palmer’s
house just as the pizza and sodas were brought by the Brechkos. There then
occurred  the annual swapping of tales about who picked up the most and the most
gross trash while we stuffed our faces. Everyone had a great time! If you don’t
see yourself in any of these pictures, why not! We’ll give you another chance
soon. The neighborhood is organizing a clean up of the First Creek Greenway in
June and we would love to have you join us. See the article elsewhere in this
newsletter. Oh yeah, we’ll probably eat again.
