Overcast skies and lashing rain in no way dampened the exuberant spirits of the people gathered this morning for a groundbreaking ceremony on the future site of the Dudley Municipal Building. The crammed inclement-weather tent held a standing-room only crowd and a jubilant atmosphere.

The tradition of beautifying the district will be passed down with this particular shovel. Lashel Sophia Devich and
Michael Rilke Obadye asked permission to take said shovel which they will use "to dig a pond, a barbeque, and many,
many gardens" at their home on Whiting Street.
