    If I won the lottery or was really rich I would love to donate some money to make my community of Oak Cliff and Jefferson street as brightly lit as Sunset Strip.

    I read an article about this in the Houston Chronicle, and immediately went to Youtube to view the results. What a fabulous idea! Love your perseverance and dedication to improving life and slowing it down to "stop and smell the roses".

    This made me cry and helped to awake the spirit of advocacy that lives somewhere within all of us.
