A New Upheaval


HUMP: 30th St and Kenwood Ave

As we start up the Take a Walk project, we are hoping to spark a new upheaval. 

Not settling for the commonplace, inconvenient, unsightly upheavals we see every other block where humongous tree roots bulge our sidewalks--but a new upheaval, one that turns us from jaded, inactive observers into informed and active neighbors who care about reclaiming our sidewalks from disrepair and improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods. 

Broken sidewalks are no different from broken windows or graffiti-rich walls left untended. Other than marring the aesthetics of the neighborhood and diverting kids on skateboards and disabled pedestrians out onto the dangerous streets, they all breed a sense of hopelessness that nothing can or will ever change. 

But things CAN change! Will you Take a Walk with us?
