Re: [UC] Poor Folk and Clark Park

It's not just them. The weekend users are the worst.

You mean those fine impoverished folks who find the money and time to congregate in the park during lunch time and drink bottles in brown paper bags which are then left strewn about along with cigarette butts?

I suspect that merchandise is scarce because the Friends of Clark Park doesn't really serve the interests of the people who care about the park ...

 

and the majority of the users are the impoverished residents outside the catchment who don't gove a damn!

I suspect that merchandise is scarce due to the

increase in porch sales in the area this past year,

maybe 1 per week.

Well, actually they were white rather than spotted elephants. And they weren't trampling down the lovingly tended lawn gardens but were being hauled across the sidewalk from automobiles to the Spruce Hill Community Association Clubhouse and Cultural Center at 257 S 45th.

 

The bad news, though, is that Pauline Borkon, who's responsible for the White Elephant Sale at the Spruce Hill May Fair (it's this Saturday) says that while some have been arriving in Datsuns, they should be coming in droves. This, by way of saying that the contributions of kitsch to the collection of stuff to be sold at the fair have been relatively sparse this year.

 

After receiving a blood oath that none of the money from the sale would go to support the historic district nomination, I agreed to help by issuing this plea. If you have items around the house you no longer want or can use, or think are too tacky for your sophisticated tastes but will appeal to the hoi polloi in the neighborhood, please consider donating them. To do so, bring them to 257 S 45th between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm (someone can correct me if these hours aren't quite right) any day this week.

 

For additional information, including clarification of what they're looking for most diligently, call 215-349-7825 between the above hours.

 

Always at your service and ready for a dialog,
