[RP TownTalk] Wachovia and the Field of Rubble

  Is there a place on the Wachovia lot we would be allowed to plant or 
is that counter-productive? It also doesn't look hospitable to life.

Dwight,

You provided me with just the opening I needed!

Gorgeous Prince George's Day is Saturday, October 11.  For those of you 
who don't know, GPGD is a day set aside where citizens' groups plant 
trees, shrubs, and flowers in public areas.  Prince George's county 
provides the groups with the trees, shrubs, and flowers (bulbs); the 
groups provide the moxie.

I am spearheading this initiative much as I did last year.  (I hope that 
the results won't be as dire).

I have already started the conversation with our Director of Public 
Works to find out where he would like these plants to be located.

I need lots of volunteers, so if you're at all interested, please don't 
hesitate to contact me.

Yesterday, driving by our Gateway (Rt 1@ 410), I couldn't help but 
notice the weeds again taking over, two or three 'yard signs' placed 
here and there advertising something (We buy houses fast! or Donate your 
car to us!, I'm not sure which), and our Farmers Market banner looking 
rather forlorn, sagging to the point of not quite being readable.

And then it occurred to me that the reports on Wachovia have not been 
good, and I wondered what this might portend for the future of our 
Gateway corner.

And then I saw this this morning in the New York Times:
"Wachovia 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/wachovia_corporation/index.html?inline=nyt-org> 
, the investment bank, lost 20 percent after a well-known Wall Street 
analyst deemed its prospects "bleak.""

If you ask me, I'd be a bit surprised if they break ground this  year. 
True or not, is there something we can do to make the lot look like 
somebody cares?
