“We Are Here” Stories (List View)

Please tell us about an important moment in your life that would help someone understand what it’s like living in your neighborhood.

NOTE: Some stories were partially transcribed by volunteers who shortened the narratives and referred to the storytellers in the third person (e.g., “her experience was” instead of “my experience was”).
