Grenadiers of Garbage on the move
October6, 1997.  After a long, dry autumn, the heavans opened up and blessed the Earth with bountiful rains, cleansing  the dust choked streets of Pittsburgh.  Always in tune with higher forces, this day was also designated as the Rascal cleanup day at the West End Circle.  3 intrepid Rascals, Mark, Don and Lee met at Georgie's on the southern side of Mt Washington for breakfast.  Just because they were determined to unclog the arteries of the city with their cleanup efforts, this did not deter them from clogging their own arteries with eggs, bacon and hash browns.  As they stood up to leave the restaurant with trash bags and orange vests, they were met with rumbling cheers from the other patrons. Or perhaps it was their own gastro-intestinal systems protesting.
     In any case, through pouring rain, they set upon the task of making the West End Circle the Jewel in PennDOT's crown of roadways.  After 12 hours of grueling labor,  these galant grennadiers of garbage completed their task.  20 cinchsaks filled to the brim gave testimony to their efforts.
 Future forays to this  Circle of Glory are planned.  Perhaps more Rascals will heed the call and lend their backs  to this most worthy effort.
