“you know Lily’s cafe and that stretch of block on colorado between Kennedy and Longfellow, which includes colorado kitchen, a (bad) corner store, haircut place, and empty space.
ANYWAY, Lily really did a lot to improve her store and the sidewalk in front of her. she put nice tables w/umbrellas out and huge planters with flowers out.
the other day, i noticed that now, she has even planted flowers etc in the dirt by the curb.
but when you look down the street on either side, tumbleweeds practically roll by–it’s derelict w/weeds etc and cracked sidwalk.
it pisses me off that the other businesses don’t care, i respond by patronizing lily’s but wondered if there is anything else i could do.
as you know, just a few touches like pulling weeds and keeping some plants or flowers, things like that, can transform a block.
thoughts?”
I think you should contact your local ANC rep and see if a clean up/beautification project can be organized. What do you guys think?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
