A Good Deed on 5th Street

An anonymous comment under my post "Where Have All The Trees Gone?", elsewhere on this blog, reported this:

'Good Deeds at 5th Street West..."Joe", who is the manager of the neighborhood tavern "The Paddock", along with some helpers, cleaned out the railroad walkway / underpass at 5th Street west...It was full of broken bottles and many things that words cannot describe... They also cleaned up litter from the railroad right of way and all around the area. Everyone should take it upon themselves to be as good of a citizen as Joe, his helpers and the others in the neighborhood cleanup teams...'

Let me add a "thank you" to Joe at The Paddock for showing the kind of community involvement that will re-kindle a sense of community in Huntington that must exist if any city is to have a quality of life that makes it a good place to live, work, study and play. Joe, pass on our compliments to your other crew members. Best regards!
