Newtonville pocket park: before and after

Earlier posts described the work we did in Newtonville and West Newton, but I had to add a few pictures.  (Thanks again to John Sisson for organizing the work.)

I walked by the Newtonville site last week and found four high school kids having lunch on the benches we cleaned.  No camera then, but I had one today, where I caught this (click it for a larger version):

People enjoying clean benches.  A bus rider draws her case across the newly flattened pavers.

Here are a few “before” pictures, for contrast:

	Benches covered with lichens & moss, now clean
	Uneven pavers to the left of picture, now level Chain link fence damaged, now removed by Shaw’s Rusted black posts, now painted by Shaw’s
	Damaged windbreak, removed and painted by Shaw’s
