Good Framing Gone Bad!!!

Lol... It was just a funny subject because Mr. Andrew told us the wrong thing. Let's get prepared to do it again groups.

We had two groups, one focused on the neighborhood east of Highland and the other group focused on the west of Highland. Group 1 involved Mr. Andrew, P Jay, Selena, and Marquez; Group 2 involved Patience, Shay, Jeremy and Skyler. The purpose of the exercise was to take photos of community places that are important to us and that we feel are the best examples of our community.

Group 1: The first picture we took was The New Olivet Baptist Church on Southern Ave. Across from the church we took a picture of a historic house and the Southern Railroad track. Next we got a picture of Lord's Tabenacle Holiness Church on Midland. Then, we got pictures of the Orange Mound Community Center and the back of it where we found what we are calling No Name Park and the old Melrose High School building. The last place we visited was Cherokee Park where we found a whole lot of open space.

Group 2: First we went to Audubon Park and noticed a playground directly in the sun with no children playing. We visited the park's family area, which was abandoned as well. We spoke with some senior citizens who informed us that very few children are found playing in the park. Then, we traveled down Park Ave. to Marquette Park off of Mendenhall. This park was the best we've seen yet. It had just enough play equipment, enough shade, but not TOO many trees, and the porto-pottys AND the water fountains were located in a central location that was easy to reach but still away from the main features of the park. Marquette wasn't deserted; in fact, there were a lot of families and children playing and watching a group of people playing baseball. After that, we went to Halle Park/Stadium and we found comfort in seeing that it was located next to the Mt. Moriah Police Precinct. Overall, it was a good trip, and we found A LOT of differences between the three.
