Many of the participants have told me of their disappointment that the local paper of record did not cover the event. To the Vindicator's credit, they did publish this story a few days before the event.
Here's the t-shirt that was given to every participant:
10 Years and Growing
The projects were spread throughout the city, mainly along Federal Street, but even near St. E's and parts of the south side.
And the tools were ready for the taking . . .
Many flowers were planted in garden bunkers, especially along the medians . . .
And cleaning up outside what will soon become the Huntington Bank Building . . .
Local artist Bob Barko displays his latest creation in progress . . .
Working on the island at the epicenter on our city . . .
And after it was all over, everyone was treated to a feast of greens, pizza, cavatelli, and baked chicken.
While the hundreds of people were relaxing under the big tent, music filled the Central Square, as shown in this video:
