One of the biggest things I think new residents should value is the fact that people held this space. The Central Area, as we know, was redlined. It's the only place that African Americans could live for a very long time. And the care and love that came with the residency is evident. It's not a wasteland. It's a very well cared for community...geographically, aesthetically. That came from African Americans, Asians...It's like because you just discovered something doesn't mean it's new.
