12 Oct Before and After: Fortson Square

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It looks like some thoughtful person decided to feed the birds right after PSCA and some volunteers finished cleaning up the park (picking up all of the cigarette butts) and adding orange buckets for the Lazarus to use as their ashtrays.

ONE WEEK AFTER:

So, while it obviously looks a little better (they had picked all of the cigarette butts up on the day of the clean up), it looks like there is still a problem, and that someone will still need to keep picking the area up. I propose that it be the people who use the Lazarus Day Center — why can’t they help keep it clean in exchange for their free services (and since they’re mostly the ones making the mess).

(I’ve very helpfully highlighted the orange buckets for you. Also, the picture is a little blurry because of my lingering trauma from being yelled at last time I took pictures of someone without asking. I don’t think they would listen if I told them I was really just taking a picture of the orange buckets).
