Our Opinion: Showing real civic pride
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 10:25 AM PDT
More and more it seems some area residents are viewing civic duty with more than just a mere sense of pride. A good case in point is a recent effort in Adrian to turn an empty lot into a park.
The effort, spearheaded by Adrian-area residents Carl Hill and Dennis Daugherty, was designed to develop a chunk of vacant land that primarily served as a lot for trucks during the past few years in Adrian.
After only a few weeks, the area has grass and more than 15 trees leafed out.
Hill and Daugherty, though, did not do it all alone. In fact, the duo received help from Adrian community members, local agencies and friends to make the project a reality.
What the effort really says about Adrian and area residents is clear: Stepping up to complete a project to help the community is part of the fabric of the town.
That kind of civic pride can be hard to come by. Fortunately, in Adrian, civic pride is an accessible commodity.
