Hollygrove Bus Stop Traditional Cache
BrewSleuth: The wood on the structure deteriorated and was removed. The metal frame has been moved within the fence of HGMF. The host is no longer valid, so I am archiving the cache.

"Bus shelters are strucrtures meant to protect folks from harsh weather and to provide a place to rest for the weary. But could the construction of a bus shelter galvinize a neighborhood into action, uniting neighbors to change their way of life, and highlight government policies that create obstacles for recovery?
THIS IS NO ORDINARY BUS SHELTER.
After being told that the comminity had the 'green light' to build their own bus shelter, the opinion was reversed. Although the shelter was near completion, they were unable to install it at the intersection of Carrollton Avenue and Palmetto Street.
The bus shelter quickly became a symbol of the neighborhood's transformation and the work that lay ahead. The bus shelter united the community behind a common goal - connectivity and ownership. The installation of the shelter also became a lesson in city bureaucracy. Often the biggest impediments to a neighborhood's recovery are the agencies and departments of city government.
Undeterred by the decision, Hollygrove residents continued forward and decided to install the bus shelter here at the community owned Hollygrove Market and Farm, an organic neighborhood farm where residents grow and purchase fruits and vegetables. The shelter is now urban furniture and a flag in the sand that Hollygrove is back!" -- taken from text posted at the shelter.
