New signs of change and renewal

Springs brings about new growth as well as renewal. Signs of renewal in Reservoir Hill are popping themselves along Whitelock and Eutaw Place and beyond. Some activities are of the city investing in this neighborhood. Walking around the neighborhood, we see trees with root-balls wrapped in burlap getting ready to be planted along the sidewalks. There are also signs of new neighbors and residents reclaiming the areas in front of their houses. I was encouraged yesterday to see a neighbor across the street sweeping the sidewalk and street in front of his brownstone. I feel we have another partner in the effort to reclaim the neighborhood one beer can, one wine bottle, one fast-food wrapper or one used condom at a time.
