Residents used to have to pay for such a pit, but I believe you can get the city to do it now, as part of the (former) mayor's TreeBaltimore initiative. This could be very beneficial to communities such as this one.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815353857038833218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519465687535991407.post-60617289810929595162010-02-28T11:10:11.405-05:002010-02-28T11:10:11.405-05:00Check out the 200 block of N Kenwood Ave. Some ac...Check out the 200 block of N Kenwood Ave. Some activists who live on that block undertook a huge tree planting project last fall (with help from the city).Mr. Mephistopheleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990042424214643592noreply@blogger.com
