Art in Our Community:

Tom Chalkley, along with quite a few helpful workers, recently completed work on our neighborhood's newest work of art. Known as "The Great Wall of Waverly", it is located on the corner of 33rd and Greenmount, on the side of the old Uncle Lee's building, next to the BP gas station.
