Another Adopt-a-Street Success!


Thanks to this hard-working crew that came out on Saturday for our Adopt-a-Street project! We had an awesome turnout. We were able to complete it in an hour thanks to Chuck's meticulous planning! (Editor's note: Doug and Sam, not available at the time this picture was taken, were battling chiggers, heatstroke, etc. in the deepest wilds of the city to ensure the southernmost portion of our street was pristine.)
