“We want to be part of changing it and changing the dynamic of the neighborhood, changing the spirit of the neighborhood around here, that’s all,” said Richard Brown, CEO of Men United Standing Together.The cleanup began around lunchtime in the area behind homes near 6th and Woodbine and saw volunteers with local groups fill up a dumpster with trash, branches, and tires that were found in the area. The sound of weed-whackers and lawnmowers could be heard as the cleanup occurred.
