Quote from the article: "I think everyone in the community is psyched this will no longer be a dumping ground," said Jaime Silva, 43, one of the organizers.
"There's nothing in this area, really," she said. "There's really no place for kids to come."
Silva and other activists say the goal is for the building to be used for a community purpose, whether it's a library or a community center with a garden.
