No doubt everyone in the neighborhood is by now aware of the sad condition of the Tot Lot at Pershing and DesPeres. It is SOMEONE’s responsibility to rehabilitate or raze it. (Much community sentiment favors the latter course.) The Residential Service was the original sponsor behind the Tot Lot’s construction; therefore, it seems appropriate that it also organize workers to demolish it or repair it. People in this neighborhood are usually generous about donating their labor to a sensible, organized project; we feel they would probably rise to this occasion too.
