“Dear PoPville,
I thought I would update you on the progress four years later. Yes, we still have some weeds, but they are so manageable. Most of the plants are native and attract a wide variety of pollinators. And that was the plan all along.”

Thanks to Jay for sending: “Alfresco Tap and Grill to be demolished. Alfresco Tap and Grill was just finished a few years ago. What a waste of resources.”
