The Neighborhood’s Most Improved

By Alexa11221 | May 6, 2008

1. The northeast corner of the intersection of Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Lexington Avenue looks like this now:

But it used to look a lot more like the opposite side of the street (”used to” as in “did a month ago.”)

So thank you homeowners for cleaning up the graffitti and planting flowers under the trees! I know it’s a lot of work. It looks really nice!

2. Six months ago, this was the empty lot on Clifton Place just west of Marcy Avenue and the Hattie Carthen Community Garden:cliftonpltrash2.JPG

It was filled with trash, much of which had spilled over to adorn the ugly new (but apparently abandoned) house next door.

Here’s the same lot now:

It’s been completely cleaned up!

I don’t know who was responsible for this, but THANK YOU!
