I love the landscaping job here: rough "distressed" asphalt over what could be nice flower beds or low-maintenance shrubbery. 



Our kinda place

 This is near the corner of Elm and Appleton. It is an ongoing high trash zone as is often the case when a convenience store is nearby.

 Las Chicas Market does a good job of keeping the area directly in front of its store clean and they do have a trash can outside the store. Walk across the street, however, and the trash stash is there.
