Spaulding Clean Up: Junipero to St Louis Done

Special thanks to Azul and the Orange County Credit Union for sending help on today's clean up. It covered Spaulding Street from Junipero to St Louis and the Spaulding Court Alley just south of it.

There will be no clean up next Saturday as I will be enrolled on the city's Certified Emergency Response Training program. Based on all the black out, it looks like we may need it.

There is another small section of the alley we'll get in an unannounced clean up, just for the sake of being thorough.

64 gallons of trash removed from Spaulding St.

 

Joint AOC7/ MacArthur Park Clean Up Done

There was an announced joint cleaning that covered the area immediately around MacArthur Park this morning. Thanks to the AOC7/ The OC Credit Union, Edgar Rangel Real Estate Consultant, Brian Ben from the City of Long Beach for the dumpster and to the volunteers from both neighborhoods.

While we wanted to get more trash out of the MacArthur Park Neighborhood but the dumpster was completely filled within two hours with waste from the alleyway between Warren and Orange alone.

Next Saturday there will be a smaller clean up of Orange Street just south of Rosa Park's Park. I am going to try to schedule another larger clean up for the fourth Saturday in August. Please keep in touch for future clean ups by joining the MacArthur Park Neighborhood Facebook Group. And continue to support the AOC7 for the great things they are bringing to all of our neighborhoods.

Alley Way Beautification Continues

Today continued the alley way beautification project next to the carnercia on 15th and Gaviota. Above you can can see some before and after pictures that show a huge difference. This project will continue until we have cleaned this alley all the way to 14th street. This will not be an easy project to finish, from here the weeds get really bad.

Alleyway Beautification: Phase One

Sundays will begin the Alleyway Beautification Project. Today, we removed a lot of weeds from this alley nearest the carnceria on 1732 15th street. Each Sunday we will remove a little more. After that, we'll do something really impressive.
