    I just want to acknowledge Mifflin Square Park at 600 W. Ritner. Years ago the neighborhood was filled with crime and litter, but the group actually brought people together and now so many of those dedicated to cleaning the park are children! The children have some hope of a brighter future thanks to the Friends of Mifflin Park. Please help the kids and keep the neighborhood safe!
