Workers have been renovating the Linden-Bushwick Block Association Garden for a little over a week — the last section of the shameful perimeter fence was getting torn out this morning — Photo by Diego Cupolo

By the end of today, the rusting, half-collapsing barbed-wire fence around the Linden-Bushwick Block Association Garden will be nothing but a bad memory. Located directly below the Gates Avenue JMZ stop at Linden Street and Broadway, the beautifully flowering garden greens will be bordered by a proper black metal fence.

Also, a large mural on an adjacent building prominently displaying the words “Crack Kills” was painted over. The change has instantly lifted an indescribable heaviness from the neighborhood — hopefully, real estate prices will not jump as a result.
