It would be interesting to know how many people who cleaned up actually live in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI live in the neighborhood and I can assure you that borough clean up is something we do every day. Over the past two years we thought we were making progress. This year? Giant leaps backwards.
ReplyDeleteThe tide has turned again with new rental houses, drug dealers, crazy drug doers. Like the cars that pull up for 3 minutes or less in front of a rental, they just dump their colorful little drug baggies,dirty diapers, fast food bags and who-knows-what in the crumpled up bags.
I guess what I'd find interesting is how many big salaried managers of the borough and elected officials will clean up in this neighborhood? In years past a few show up at borough hall but, as is typical all other times of the year, are nowhere to be seen in the 1st Ward.
The neighborhoods should be cleaned up by the people who live there. I've lived in Pottstown for over 40 years, and there never was organized clean ups in the North, East, or South ends. All the neighbors took care of their spot and if you did not clean up, your home sure stuck out!
