A New Look for the Annex

What a nice surprise to walk down Watchung Avenue and come upon this makeover of the front of the City Hall Annex!

The large pots hold one of my fave plants, Wave petunias, that should bubble up into cascades of flowers (unless folks sit on them, as people do on the pots at Park & Seventh). The intent is very good and let's hope people honor it. This beautification effort fits in with the "pride of place" concept that at least one Plaintalker reader would like to revive.

As time and shoeleather allow, Plaintalker hopes to document more pretty sights created by public and private property owners around the city. Suggestions are welcome.
