The Team That Cleaned Up East 9th Street

The Team That Cleaned Up East 9th Street

Last weekend’s East 9th Street clean up organized by Maria Newsom-Fahey attracted quite a few young and old neighbors. The group weeded, picked up trash, planted spring bulbs and put the street trees to sleep with mulch and, I assume, sweetly sung lullabies.

Maria described the process, saying she simply popped flyers into her neighbors’ mailboxes to get the word out. It sounds like a process that’s not difficult to repeat on other blocks if the will is there.
