Bashing Holyoke

The weather couldn't have been nicer on Wednesday. It was just a gorgeous day, and I was looking for any excuse to go back out before the sun went down. While browsing the interwebatubes of the Crush site, I suddenly found a reason, and with less than ten minutes to get 15 blocks uptown I grabbed my camera bag, and ran out the door.

Arriving a few minutes late at the 'Krackhaus' jokingly named for the drug dealing reputation of bygone days. I couldn't find anyone, but with a quick phone call the bashing crew was found in a back alley a block away.

They had their work cut out for them. This alley needed some serious bashing.

Bash! Bam! Boom! And like comic book superheros the Trash Bashers saved another Gotham City back alley from vile refuse. It took little over than an hour, and was much more fun than complaining about the problem.

Below are Wednesday's Trash Bashers: Pat, Stan, Cesar, Kristen, Matt, Daphne, and Alexander. You can contact them at their crush group, or web site.

Outstanding! Unfortunately, the savages (and yes, I specifically intended to use that term) who made that mess will waste no time in getting their ally back the way they like it!
