North Street Project Blog: Clean Up After Yourself

Submitted by emmettoconnell on Wed, 05/28/2008 - 8:37am.

North Street Project Blog wants a clean neighborhood, even if they're ripping up North Street:

My father reads my blogs each day and on Friday announced I was sounding crotchety.

I love the word crotchety.

Let's examine it shall we.

From Dictionary.com

crotch·et·y [kroch-i-tee] adjective .given to odd notions, whims, grouchiness, etc.

Yeppers, that's me.

I've got a few odd notions this week. Garbage (didn't see that one coming did you?), Oil and grease spills (photos below) and raw sewage.

Let's begin, shall we?

I want our neighborhood cleaned up.

NO, not the actual construction debris.

Just the effin' garbage.
