Just before the East End Clean Up, I walked the side streets off of East Main delivering flyers and spreading the word. I was struck by how charming these small stretches of roadway are. Though modest, most homes are obviously loved and cared for with great pride. I think if more people were to actually walk these areas, they’d find that yes, there are problem properties, but there is a predominance of residences that the neighbors are proud to call home. The following photos are of Kline Street, which had a bit of bad press a few months back. The residents I spoke with were anxious to let the rest of us know that they are happy to live where they do and several came out the following day to help with our clean up of the main drag.
