The White Center Blog's Bart "On The Street" Bryan (left) lent a hand (and extendable grabbing thingy) to the Rat City Roller Girls as they cleaned up 16th Ave SW Saturday.

It was quite a day Saturday (Oct. 11th) when the White Center Blog’s own Bart “On the Street” Bryan joined forces with the White Center, oops, we mean Rat City Roller Girls as they scrubbed the Dub-C’s main arterial (16th Ave SW) of its man-made plaque.

Ya gotta be a chick to be a Roller Girl (“sorry fellas”) as their site says, but today Honorary “Street Cleanin’ Guy” Honors went to Bart.

A couple of times each year since 2004, when the Roller Girls first lawyered up and LLC’d themselves, they’ve put on the hard hats and orange “look out for me and stay the *!•^# outta my way” vests and “trashoscopied”* the famous roadway of its recent human discardations.

Bart "On The Street" Bryan (left, with grabbing thingy on his leg) celebrates a full day of street cleaning with the Rat City Roller Girl crew, which included (in no particular order) Dixie Dragstrip, Rosie Revenge, Libby Raider, Sara Problem, Katarina Whip, Selma Soul, Summer Assault and Curtis E. Lay (skating referee).

They start at the Albertson’s parking lot (thanks everyone there, customers and workers alike) and break into four commando squads. Within two hours, they’ve cleared the brush, brambles and byways of, well, stuff, from Roxbury south to 116th.

“We collected a lot of, uh, let’s call it debris,” said Bart. He was joined today by such rollers as Libby Raider, Sara Problem, Katarina Whip and Selma Soul.

Everyone wears protective gear, and the garbage and all is safely and legally disposed of.

It’s all part of King County’s Adopt-A-Road program.

To get a hold of Bart “On-the-Street” Bryan, call him anytime at 206-248-2565 or email him here. He’d be happy to help your cause or promote your business.

And as for the Roller Girls, here’s how to keep up on them there do-goodin’ hip-checkin’ street cleanin’ White Center foxes:
