Landscape Architect and Germantown resident Chris Mendel steps up on the Soapbox this week. At the intersection of Lincoln Drive, Wissahickon Avenue and Rittenhouse Street is a small triangular park known as Saylor Grove. This misunderstood piece of land was converted to a wetland in recent years. Chris gives his opinion on why this park is important and how exactly we benefit from it. See more pictures of Saylors Grove on the G-town Radio site (http://www.gtownradio.com/content/view/2933/141/).
