Make Whittier Prettier

Whittier neighborhood is named for Quaker abolitionist and poet John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892), author of such florid lines as,

''Blessings on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!
With thy turned-up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill"

From "The Barefoot Boy"

Very clever and funny. We aren't in the 'Fine Arts' district for nothing! Now I want to try that tool you cited. Thanks.
