Glenwood Association addresses problems

The Grove Street Revitalization Task Force, part of the Greater Glenwood Neighborhood Association (GGNA), has been diligently working to address the types of problems Matthew Scarborough mentioned (letter, Oct. 25) on Grove Street, such as crime and a negative image. We have a vision for what we want to see on Grove Street and are actively seeking help from public and private sources to make that vision a reality.

If we want help from the Greensboro community, we must first demonstrate that we are willing to work hard and follow through with our plans. New Birth Sounds of Thunder Church has proven its commitment to our community by opening the Jr. Tech and Robotics Academy. But, much more needs to be done if we are going to turn Grove Street around.

As an organization that represents all of the residents of our diverse community, GGNA does not advocate any particular religious perspective. However, we are happy to partner with any person or organization with the desire to work toward a better neighborhood for all. I hope those concerned about the Glenwood community will attend our Glenwood Neighborhood Plan kickoff at 10:30 Saturday morning at Peck Elementary School, 1601 West Florida St.

Good luck to you Ms. Kates, honestly.

My neighborhood's commitment to fighting crime consists of one crazy old man with a house full of dogs and enough weaponry to mount an invasion of any randomly selected third world country.

Whatever works.
