The third annual 12South Neighborhood Tour was a success by any measure. More than 300 people took the Tour, and net proceeds are expected to exceed last year's proceeds by more than 20%. The Tour's success ensures the continuation of Association programs like the monthly newsletter, twice annual neighborhood clean-ups, and Montrose-in-May and allows the Association to make invest in new programs. Also, approximately $500 was raised for children's athletic programs at Sevier Park Community Center.
Neighbors on foot and in trucks cleaned out six alleys and streets between 12th Avenue South and Vaulx Lane, filled two dumpsters to the brim, and carried off dozens of old tires and TVs to the city dump.
