Madison Valley Spring Cleaning
This past Saturday the Madison Valley merchants and residents took part in a Spring cleaning along Madison between 27th and 30th.
Merchants, volunteers, and some paid help worked together to clean moss-covered awnings, paint over graffiti, remove stickers from poles and bike racks, pressure wash storefronts and sidewalks, remove weeds from the tree wells and sidewalks, and install beauty bark.
The Madison Valley Merchants Association spent about $2,500 to pay for the cleaning effort. Harbour Pointe Coffeehouse provided coffee, Harvest Vine baked some wonderful pastries for volunteers, and Pagliacci Pizza provided pizza for everyone at lunchtime. City People’s Garden Store gave everyone a discount for plants, flowers, and supplies.
The next time you’re in a neighborhood shop, please tell the proprietor how much you appreciate a clean and pretty shopping district!
