Whoever he is, this resident of the 1600 block of 4th Street has taken it upon himself to sweep the gutters along his block, and at least part of Q Street as well. The work makes a big difference.
He’s only one of many people who are doing their parts – more than their parts, actually – to maintain our neighborhood. Some people sweep sidewalks, others hang plastic bags on fences to give people a place to throw trash. These are only the jobs that come to mind immediately. I’m sure that I’m leaving out quite a few.
On a nice day, such as today, the results of everything you’re doing are especially noticeable. Many thanks to all of you.

Very inspiring. Due to this posting, I have decided to take over a neighbor’s tree box (with permission) to plant a tree and some accompanying flowers!
That would be Bryan. Sometimes his neighbor John subs for him.
And now they’re heroes with names! Many thanks for the info.
Yes, you are correct Peter. There were others working Saturday, as well. Some of whom were out there well before 9 am. I observed neighbors working on Bates Street and First Street in front of their homes. I’m certain such was the case other streets. Let’s celebrate their labors, too.
