Cherry Street Clean-Up Recap and Call for More Help
A Bluefield community group nicknamed Cherry Pickers finished a rapid cleanup of Cherry Street in about ninety minutes with nine volunteers. The writer thanks participants including Marion Haye, Bob Beavers, Thomas Lester, Keith Ratcliff, Jody Neal, Alan Felts, Katherine Barker and Skip Crane. The piece reflects on found items, urges ongoing civic effort, and notes few hubcaps but many beer bottles and a Crown Royal bottle. The author questions littering culture and calls for one hour of service per person.
