Trashy Hour is Back!!! Show your love and support for our wonderful community by helping us to keep it clean. North Park is a great place to live and a great place to visit. But let's face it, this neighborhood has a history of neglect stemming from urban flight, reallocation of city funds to more wealthy neighborhoods, and just straight up classism & racism. We love our neighborhood. It's packed with long time residents, new comers, families, students, artists, entrepreneurs, tourists, and a myriad of cool things to do and see. We want a cleaner place to live and a cleaner place for our guests to visit. So... we're picking up trash every week (we do it for our little corner every day), and we're inviting you to join us. We'll provide the trash grabbers, gloves, and trash bags. We'll even reward you with cheap pints afterwards. You just need to bring your love for clean sidewalks and streets, and a little pep in your step. Date: Sunday, February 13, 2022 at 11am Location: Home Brewing Co.
