Dick Case featured the work of the Washington Square Neighborhood Task Force recently in his column. He's highlighted the North side several times recently, and always includes an interesting fact or two on the history of a neighborhood and it's people.

Syracuse's Washington Square is one block from the Police Center heading south on Park Street. It's an area of the North side that dates back to the Salt City's early roots.

The Task Force has been hard at work on various projects. The 100 year old monument in Washington Square is being restored, and other plans are under way to beautify the park. It should be looking great just in time for the Annual Picnic with Police and Fire this summer.
