Community Interview Project Reflection

Over the course of doing this project I think we have learned a lot of things and gained great skills. It was interesting to go around my neighborhood and learn things about its denizens that I never knew. The common patterns and ideas presented by the members of my community is very interesting and makes me wonder if all areas are like this. I look forward to the other presentations for this, to compare my findings with others, and perhaps get a broader view on the city as a whole. We could see the similarities between the whole city. I was not really that surprised to hear a lot of the things about my community. It is a heavily education and residential based area, with not much major business or industry, and limited workplaces. There are some small mostly family owned or small commercial stores, excluding the few plazas with major stores. I think my community is special and unique because of the great schools in my neighborhood (not as great as Whitney Young of course) and the very family and education oriented lifestyle most of the residents live. It was a great experience learning about my neighborhood and will be to learn about others as well.
