Proletariat Pizza tells the tale of the community-rescued planter
Just happened onto this on Facebook, from Proletariat Pizza: There’s a community-built planter in front of their restaurant, which has had its troubles over time (including, PP’s proprietors admit, when they forgot to water it, and the plants died, but were replanted by Vera from Village Green Perennnial Nursery “for a pizza”). This past weekend, PP writes, somebody “totally destroyed it” – but then it was rescued, again by the community. Go to their page to read the full story (in a status update and then in ensuing comments). P.S. Elsewhere on their page, PP also is asking if you’d support them being open on Sundays.

A great story about the community pulling together!
We all work together and that makes a difference!
Somehow reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell ‘The Tipping Point’
if you haven’t read it- it’s a good one!
quote…”Things can happen all at once, and little changes can make a huge difference. That’s a little bit counter-intuitive. As human beings, we always expect everyday change to happen slowly and steadily, and for there to be some relationship between cause and effect. And when there isn’t — when crime drops dramatically in New York for no apparent reason, or when a movie made on a shoestring budget ends up making hundreds of millions of dollars — we’re surprised. I’m saying, don’t be surprised. This is the way social epidemics work.” MG
