Newscopy (Nov. 6, 1957): "Here we go around the raspberry bush in front of the vacant lot between 25 and 33 Naples st., complains DeWitt C. McGovern to Mr. Fixit. He lives one street over, at 25 Vienna st., and says you walk in street or on muddy path.".
Newscopy (Dec. 12, 1957): "Before Mr. Fixit took a look, you had to go around the raspberry bush in front of the vacant lot between 25 and 33 Naples st. But DeWitt C. McGovern of 25 Vienna st. asked Mr. Fixit if he would try walking over the bushes to see how it felt. And Mr. Fixit took the problem to Public Works Director Sherman P. Duckel. Shortly after, Duckel had the raspberries mowed down.".
