What We Did This Week?

Monday- We put all the problem properties, that we surveyed Friday, on ArcMap.

Tuesday- We interviewed people at Davis Community Center to see what they think about Davis Park and their neighborhood.

Wednesday- We got together and put our presentation together for our Neighborhood Meeting on July 31st.

Thursday- We had to be at the Blue Crush weekly meeting at 9:00 at Airways Substation and we learned about all the targeted crimes that are going on the city of Memphis. The t.v. and movies doesn't lie about police loving donuts and coffee. Then, we split up into two groups, one group went to Brentwood Park and the other group went to Peabody Park to take park surveys. Then we had a presentation for the Humes' Students and Memphis Heritage came gave a presentation.

Friday- Today we going to take surveys of Marquette Park and Aurbon Park and we going to create maps of Brentwood Park, Marquette Park, and Aurbon Park.

This week I learned not to judge a community by what the televisions say because what they say about Orange Mound isn't true and when we surveyed the people in the community they are saying they don't see as many problems in their community as what I thought there would be. There isn't that much in the community going by what all the neighbors in the neighborhood saying. So, stopping judging different communities by what you heard and judge by what you know about the communities. By gathering data, we learned to know the community more and learned not to judge the community.
