Neighborhood 10 – The Flats
The Flats flag withstands Huricanne Irene
Most of the neighbors didn’t fare as well as their flags. Trees fell in every block, and electricity was out in most of the neighborhood for a week. But the neighborhood spirit carried the day. Special thanks to those neighbors with generators for sharing their light!
