And although the city did some cleaning up after the hurricanes, it wasn't completely clear. But McInnis and other residents were happy to help out the city and finish the duties by raking and picking up smaller debris on Saturday, Nov. 30.
"We've done cleanups in the past," McInnis said. "So this time we wanted to chip in and help. The city has worked so hard to clean up everywhere and we want to do our part."
