Project Proposal

This picture is of JPNA members sharing their concerns with the mayor. These people care about the neighborhood probably because some of them live there or all of them live there and its their home and they want to improve it. The neighborhood is very important to Milwaukee and has a lot of history behind it. Johnsons Park helps make up the city of Milwaukee. Its not just the houses or any of the physical surroundings that make it important. It bring a lot of history to to the area, the big idea is that its the people who live there that make it what it is. The residents who have lived there for all of their life or most of their lives must have a lot of interesting things to say, a lot of stories to tell about the neighborhood. What the residents have to say about the neighborhood helps contribute to its history and the history of Milwaukee and it is important that what they have to say is preserved for future residents so that they can really appreciate their home.

Interesting Facts about the Zilber Initiative

The first thing I found interesting was how Joseph Zilber has decided to help out the city he grew up in and that Lindsay Heights and Clarke Square are only the first of ten areas that will be fixed up by the Zilber Neighborhood Initiative. There are a lot of areas around the country that need a lot of help but it is nice to see something being done in Milwaukee. It is also nice to see that so many agencies familiar with the area are involved in the project because with their help and the help of the residents in the neighborhood they will really be able to target those parts of the neighborhood that need to be fixed up. Another thing I found interesting was how they are trying to cover all aspects of this project like where the people will eat and what they will eat. Residents in the neighborhood are trying to stop the development of Church's Chicken but it would create new jobs and bring healthcare into the neighborhood but the downside is that its unhealthy if the residents eat there too often, it reaaly could harm them.
