Deej submits yesterday early afternoon-
This is Gloucester Ave. across the street from the bowling alley up to Maplewood. I’ve been yellow bagging it today and can’t put a dent in how bad it is. I could stand still, not
move my feet and with my grabber, fill a yellow bag to the brim, move two
feet and do it again.
and an update from Deej last night-
I went back out tonight to another street one block over. Again, unbelievable, adjacent to a building on Grove Street . I’m plowing away and a little 8 year old named Jake comes out with his grabber. He wants to help me. My yellow bag is full and I was just about to go home but I couldn’t resist. He ran in his house and got his own bag to share with me. He asked me why people put trash on the ground and I had no good answer for him. We chatted away about school and homework and reading books. I told him thanks little pal and he asked if we could meet tomorrow. I was so overwhelmed. We parted but I got back into it a little further up the block and got over this broken fence. Jake must have seen me and I see him coming back up the street with a huge wheel barrel. We found so much more stuff, even a new hockey stick he asked if he could have. What a great boy. His parents should be proud. I will write him a thank you note and get him a Friendly’s gift card, not because I think he should be rewarded but just because he is an awesome kid. Nice end to a dirty day!
Good Morning Gloucester
