And if Spring Spruce Up wasn't enough, down Ridgeway and up toward Rose, two sets of steps were beautified today by art students from Clifton Middle School. The second coat goes on next week and then a sealer....comments from the community--"thank you--these steps are soooo happy"! We thank the Corrider Curb Appeal Street Art Committee and the talented participants from Mrs. Kaarn Thomas' Art Club and Art Classes and our other volunteers who helped out today in a big way!!!
