Did you notice the freshly tended rose bushes by the Indian? They're across the street from Interactive Resources, but you won't see Tom Butt stopping to smell them.

The West Side Women's Improvement Club pruned and raked partly to make things pretty. But the timing alone--during N.I.C.E. voting-- suggests that the work was also to show what volunteers can do. That is, to prove that the Point can do without N.I.C.E.

Of course, the ladies did a good job. No doubt about that.

Will they be back after the N.I.C.E. vote? I bet we've seen the last of them.
