"Sense of Community" is Alive and Well!

Our neighbors over in the area along 9th Avenue in Fairfield West got with it yesterday morning. With a great display of that ole "sense of community" spirit that is a vital part of good citizenship, these folks came together to spruce up that busy thoroughfare. From early morning until mid-afternoon, they teamed up with a crew and truck furnished by the City of Huntington to clean up trash and litter along that avenue and its side-streets from 16th Street to 20th Street.

In addition, they targeted some abandoned houses that have gained a reputation for being the location of illegal drug activity. The houses were knee high in grass and weeds, and the lawns were covered with trash.

Would that every citizen living on every block of our city could rekindle that old Huntington "sense of community". Want to get involved on your block? Call me and I'll help you get started by furnishing the right equipment that will allow you to pick up blowing litter - and you don't even have to bend over or touch it! Let your "sense of community" show!
