the view from Grayton Street.
I'm looking up and down my quiet block at my neighbors' houses that are kept up and garbage-free, and at the one vacant house where people take turns cutting the grass and making sure the doors and windows are intact. EEV is an island of stability in a sea of chaos, and it infuriates me that we are ignored by people who don't offer any ideas about how to make the city better. To me it seems like cleaning up after yourself, watching out for your neighbors, knowing where your kids are and what they're doing, and simply taking a walk around your neighborhood is a pretty good start. And none of this costs you a thing.
