The Citizens for Petworth walk on Wednesday (Oct 27) evening will be the last of the season. I want to thank everyone who's given their time on a regular basis over the last several months.
CfP has made a real difference in lower Petworth, turning neighbors into friends and working with Neighborhood Services Coordinator Merrit Drucker toward our basic goal of "clean and safe".
By walking the streets and alleys - looking around, taking notes, calling stuff in, and following up - we've made real progress in dealing with bulk trash, abandoned autos, broken streetlights, graffiti, etc in our area. And just by being out there, together with Minnie Green's group from the 3rd and Upshur area, we've sent a positive message that people care.
To anyone who's ever considered coming out with us - last chance till spring! Join us on the south side of Grant Circle, 8pm Wednesday. So far our record is probably 30 people or so. Imagine 100+!
