Ok, I just couldn't take it anymore. I don't do a great deal of driving on the Blvd, except to go to/from work and run errands. On Saturday, on my way home from the office, I decided to do what I had been wanting to do for awhile - pick up the debris that detracted from the beauty of our Boulevard.
What I thought might take me 10 minutes stretched into 3/4 of an hour! I had 1 grocery store plastic bag on me, which should be enough, right? WRONG! Although I didn't weigh it, I am quite sure it was at least 5 lbs. of garbage, but it could have been more!
THE WORST PART: 30% - 40% of the refuse collected was some sort of container for alcoholic beverages...beer cans, mini liquor bottles, beer bottles, etc.
I hope that the percentage of beverage containers does not correlate to the same percentage of drivers who are consuming those beverages while driving our Blvd...something to think about.
Later.

About Me
- Rich Cornelius
- Clearwater Beach, Florida, United States
- Born in New York, I retired to the Tampa Bay area at the ripe old age of 18 months, and have been a resident ever since. I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, received my Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Science and became an airline pilot with a major carrier. After 5 years in professional aviation, I joined Sand Key Realty, Sales & Rentals. While at Sand Key Realty, I successfully sold more than $10M in residential real estate, including one of the highest sales on record on Clearwater Beach. In June of '07, I joined Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Clearwater so I could better serve family, friends and clients alike and meet all of their real estate needs. In real estate, as in aviation, I do it right the first time because of the trust and responsibility placed in me by my clients. Simply put, it’s all about the details.
