If you are interested in improving your block, send an email to apombo@edelmanproductions.com and include:
1. A photo of the front of the house
2. A photo from the curb/street
3. A photo of the homeowners
4. Name/address/contact info for the homeowners
5. A story about why your house is the "eyesore of the block"
