Charismatic long-time neighborhood activist Mamie Nichols spoke at the Point Breeze neighborhood Greene Countrie Towne celebration with Blaine Bonham, Jr., Philadelphia Green director, looking on. Point Breeze was dedicated as a PHS Greene Countrie Towne in 1983. The largest of any of the eight neighborhoods to be declared a Greene Countrie Towne, Point Breeze planted gardens, street trees, and container blocks on more than 70 sites. Neighborhoods that committed to organizing garden groups and working with Philadelphia Green on extensive greening projects were dedicated as Greene Countrie Townes with festive celebrations.
