Last August was an awful time for residents of Druid Circle, helpless in the face of unprecedented flooding. The neighborhood rallied, of course, as neighbors helped neighbors evacuate and succeeded in saving a few of their possessions. Months later, a huge pile of debris still filled the circle and crowded out the oak in its center. When at last the city collected the mess, the residents were left with a badly scarred circle, littered with small bits of broken glass and sheetrock, the sod and topsoil scraped away with the debris.
Again neighbors rallied. A crew consisting of Bill Gallegos, Bob Skapura, Chris Liddy, Van Wade Day, Sarah Myers, Art & Nora Adams, Madison Romero, Alex Mazingue, and Tabby Boagian set to work cleaning and preparing the ground, with Canette Liddy providing nourishment (blueberry muffins). With money provided by the Civic Association, the circle was resodded and limestone placed under the concrete table and benches. The result is nothing short of beautiful.
