'Liners' live in neighborhoods along Charles Page Boulevard, west of downtown Tulsa. The four lane street used to be the main route between Tulsa and Sand Springs. It's easier these days to take highway 412 to get across town. According to Don Comstock, that's one of the reasons that the neighborhood he grew up in isn't what it once was.
When I met Don, he was weed-eating a property near S. 65th W. Ave. and Charles Page Blvd. He took a break to talk before he got back to work.
Here's Michael's story about Don in case you missed it in Sunday's paper and here's the video that I made after our visits with "The Clean-up Man and a few pictures that weren't in the newspaper.
