Members of the Downtown Business Association including Dicky Mopper talk about the importance of small businesses maintaining cleanliness. The Golden Broom is awarded to J.D. Weed and Company, an antique shop, on Bull Street. An interview is conducted with Arthur Weed, owner of J.D. Weed and Company, who talks about his dedication to cleaning up not just his store, but the entire neighborhood to keep Savannah beautiful. Segment two: Lead free housing, 10:02-21:28. Civic Magazine covers a rededication ceremony for the Clearview Apartments, which were renovated to serve as affordable, lead-free housing. The project was funded under the city's Lead Hazard Reduction Program, committed to providing safe, lead-free housing for Savannah's citizens. The rededication occurred during National Lead Awareness Week. A man from the Lead Poison Prevention Program talks about the process of removing lead from old homes and the safety hazards of living in a home with residual lead. Other speakers include Mayor Floyd Adams, Jr., and property owner Larry Wimpy. Segment three: Mutare, 21:28-26:07.

Civic Magazine covers an interview between Savannah mayor Floyd Adams, Jr. and Mutare mayor Lawrence Mugabe. Mayor Adams talks about what he learned during his trip to Mutare, and Mayor Mugabe praises Savannah's municipal organization and availability of information for its citizens.
