Gardena, All-America City

Welcome to Gardena, the one-time "All America" city. Once home to manicured Japanese gardens and clean streets is now transformed to inner city squalor. The photograph you see was taken at the U.S. Post Office, Main Branch, on Redondo Beach Boulevard on September 22, 2007.

On September 15, 2007 the city of Gardena held their 8th Annual "Keep Gardena Beautiful Day." The flier, still on the city website, advertises that "volunteers will gather to clean up city parks, right of ways and neighborhoods" (link to web site)

I can't blame the volunteers--there is far too much to do in this city. As far as the City of Gardena City Council and committees, I wonder if they're paying attention.

Is Steven Bradford still on your council? You should check his address. . .he lives in Carson. Maybe that's why the Gardena council doesn't care how things look. Isn't living there a requirement to hold office?
