Hats off to the many hardworking neighborhood residents who labored to Improve our community on Operation BrightSide Blitz Day, Saturday, May 1, 1999. Many alleys benefited from the efforts of weed-chopping, trash-gathering residents who worked so hard that City Refuse could barely keep up with all the activity.
The south alley of 5700-6100 Pershing received special attention from a crew of Community Service workers under the supervision of 7th District Police Officers. Four Corners Park was a hotbed of activity. Serving as a distribution point for BrightSide flowers and trash bags, as well as the site of a neighborhood-wide plant exchange and 50 pounds of grass seed, the Park also received a good spruce-up. Many volunteers, Including NSO Larry Isom and neighborhood children. enjoyed earning their hot dogs, chips and soda after a hard morning’s work. Thanks to our own Mary Lou Green at Operation BrightSide, as well as the many families and friends who made Blitz Day ’99 a great success.
