Angels of the Swamp

Many hurricanes have left our streets in disrepair with potholes throughout the city, some deep enough to cause damage to our cars or to a walker or cyclist. FEMA will be providing funds to eventually bring permanent relief BUT in the meantime, our city staff has come to the rescue.  

On Saturday, August 30, Everglades City was alive with activity as our city staff, yes, our city staff, was out with their shovels and rakes, walking behind the trucks and equipment laying the asphalt. They went well beyond their job descriptions to get the work done! How many other cities or towns in this state would have this dedication and commitment? 

All of us have been frustrated with how much time it takes to make repairs after our hurricanes, but we are grateful to our city “Angels:” Dottie Joiner, Karen Cochran, and Terry Smallwood. Thank you!
