This "Community Center" has gone downhill since I moved here 13 years ago. They used to have after school programs in the big, grassy play area in back. They also used to have free hair cuts and backpacks for kids in the fall. Since Pillsbury took over (I think), they put up which was first called a "community" garden, but then neighbors were told we could NOT, in fact, have any of the vegetables. People from outside of North come in to work on the garden, play loud music and leave garbage from their meals to blow around.
They used to have a really good groundskeeper who took pride in the appearance of the grounds. There has been a TV sitting on their boulevard and garbage in their back alley for about three weeks. Garbage is strewn around the inside of the fence. Their number listed goes unanswered.
One good thing--thus, one star: they provide pretty good food to neighbors in need, which is truly amazing.
They just need to step get back the programs for kids, lose the "non-community" garden and start picking up their garbage. read more
