Can You Join Us for Oregon Hill Alley Cleanup? Sat., Aug 6 8am-10am. Meet at Pleasants Park (401 S Laurel St – corner of S laurel & Albemarle St.). All are invited, whether or not you live in Oregon Hill. . . . . You Can Choose One of Two Tasks: 1) A simple litter pickup thru the neighborhood 2) Going thru the alleys throwing furniture/large refuse into a city garbage truck.
