Philly Spring Cleanup
I spent a few hours on Saturday working with the Philly Spring Cleanup in Fishtown, trying to get Delaware Avenue off of Berks Street beautified. We bagged a lot of junk, but the many abandoned buildings that seem to be havens for druggies are the main problem of this area. These buildings are unattainable yet encased with so much litter that the wind will eventually bring it to the streets. Hopefully when Sugarhouse gets completed, these eyesores will be removed.
Melissa and Ryann try to figure out what to do with a fallen and crumbling wooden sign.
Melissa strikes a pose while Ryann lines up the sign for the eventual huge job the trash men will have.
Mike and Alison dig into the litter that was mostly intertwined with weeds.
Ryann and his Charlie shirt, Charlie looking at the litter in disgust. Melissa and Alison slack off in the background! ; )
Ryann gets interviewed by Action News…
