This flyer came in today's mail. It's a great idea. Ruston does a smaller scale 'community clean-up' after the Taste of Tacoma. Everyone picks up trash from the many Taste tasters who drop their used wares on the street ~ and then we bring our bags to the garbage dumpsters at Town Hall for cookies baked by our gracious seniors. It's a fun event.
But I wonder if we could do something even bigger - have a day where everyone cuts down those overgrown bushes, or paints a neighbor's porch who needs help, or covers over graffiti in the tunnel, or especially weeds the parking strip along 51st Street (although Heidi Kress got a good start yesterday across from her new shop). We could end with a potluck BBQ at Rust Park.
Everyone is busy during the summer. But it sounds like a nice way to make Ruston even more beautiful and party with neighbors at the same time. If anyone has suggestions or ideas, comment here....
