Northwest Mesa Clean-up

What a cool idea! Northwest residents have a chance to meet their neighbors while improving their community this weekend, which I am assuming means Saturday. I am not quite sure why its called "Top 2 Bottom," especially since its in District 1. Shouldn't it be "Thats a Clean 1" or "1derland" or "1 ton of clean up..."

Here are the details:

At stake: This is the weekend for a big neighborhood cleanup effort in City Council District 1, which covers northwest Mesa.

What's involved: More than 500 volunteers are expected for the event, which is called "Top 2 Bottom." Projects will include wall and bridge painting, picking up "nuisance" signs, alley cleanups, graffiti effacement and trash cleanup.

How you can help: Volunteers are asked to meet at 7 a.m. in the Walmart parking lot at Mesa Riverview, 1061 N. Dobson Road. They'll be fortified with free food, get a T-shirt and head out to their assigned projects. The work is supposed to be finished at 11 a.m.
