📣 For this week's Four Corners Community Call we stopped by the Express Stop (Phillips 66) at 4815 Independence Avenue—right across from Northeast Middle School.

🏫 Students are officially back in the classrooms! It’s fantastic seeing the energy back on the block. Drive carefully and watch out for kids crossing near the middle school during pickup and drop-off times.

✌🏾 A huge shoutout to the Independence Ave CID Titan Security team. They’ve been out in full force keeping the corridor safe, welcoming, and secure for students, business owners, and neighbors alike.

⛽ Convenience stores like Express Stop keep our neighborhood moving. Drop in, grab a snack, and say hello to the friendly staff working hard to serve our community daily.

🤝 Thank you to everyone working together to keep the Historic Northeast vibrant, safe, and connected. What positive changes or local businesses have you noticed around the neighborhood lately?

WORK HARD. PLAY HARD. 💪🛝

Our Urban Street Ambassador Team puts in some serious work along Independence Avenue. From early mornings and hot days to trash, illegal dumping, overgrown lots, alleyways, storefronts, and all the unexpected things the Ave throws their way—they keep showing up and getting it done.

But even the hardest-working crew deserves a little time to play! 😂

If you see these guys out and about, give them a shout-out, a wave, a honk, or simply tell them THANK YOU. A little appreciation goes a long way for the people doing the behind-the-scenes work every single day to make our community cleaner and better.

We appreciate this crew and everything they bring to the Avenue. 💜

Four Corners Community Call: Buy the Pound 🛍️

This week’s Four Corners Community Call took us to Buy The Pound Thrift, where the Titan Avenue Angels joined us for a little back-to-school treasure hunting!

Buy The Pound is unlike your typical thrift store: instead of most items having individual price tags, shoppers dig through bins and pay for many items by the pound, with the inventory rotated frequently throughout the day.

With Secondhand Wardrobe Day coming up next week, it’s also a great time to make sure the kids have everything they need before heading back to school—without breaking the bank. 👕👟🎒
