Plainfield's holiday weekend winds up with two Sunday activities: the regular weekend cleanup and a concert
QUEEN CITY PRIDE CLEANUP
This weekend's Queen City Pride cleanup gets under way Sunday (November 13) at 9:00 AM at the corner of Plainfield Avenue and Randolph Road.
The crew of volunteers will pick up litter along both sides of Plainfield Avenue down to its foot at the Drake House at West Front Street.
On the way back they will make a loop over South Second Street to Mt. Olive Baptist Church and then up Liberty Street to the end, then west on 8th Street to Plainfield Avenue to complete the loop.
