The Georgia Avenue Task Force, a citizens group working on advocating for improving Georgia Avenue, has a new blog on local issues. Nice to see them on the web. Their most reecnt post is on graffiti that says “Gentrification Kills.” The odd thing is, the graffiti seems to be on abandoned buildings. If you’re protesting gentrification, it seems more logical to put it on new spots. Plus I have no idea how these people think it actually kills.
The Task Force is also looking for volunteers for a lot of their Community Review event on August 7, which is a meeting to discuss the neighborhood in general. There’s a list of tasks you can volunteer for here, and to sign up email sylvia@ecacollective.org.
