Thanks for asking. The clean up went well although the weather did not help. We seem to get bigger turnouts when the sun is shining.

Take a walk along 16th Street. You will see that the Tree Tenders planted flowers in all the tree pits. Looks great. They were looking for "tree pit adoptions" to pay for the flowers and were successful!

As for the dog feces. Unfortunately this is a frustrating problem that plagues not only Guerin but much of Philadelphia. We did clean up what we could. I walk my dog several times a day and unfortunately it seems that in general it is the same people who don't pick up after their dogs. To be honest many of them probably think I am some kind of nut job with all my yelling at them to "pick up" but it doesn't seem to have the effect I would hope.
Of course if you had joined in on the clean up we could have gotten rid of more! (hint hint)

Our next cleanup is in June. I will make sure to post in plenty of time so that more of our neighbors can come out and participate. I am thinking that a few Primo hoagies and cold Newbold beer afterwards might be a good incentive.
