Seeing Baybrook

Visiting Baybrook was a wonderful experience. Having the opportunity to be in the spaces that we'd read about created a sense of eagerness, opportunity and uneasiness. I felt the urge to canvas the neighborhood and get a feel for what the residents had to say but understand that in time, I may be able to do that. I was at a loss of ideas in terms of what I wanted to do but in the same instances, saw countless possibilities all over. The Polish Home Hall seemed central to the community but even moreso was the water tower. From four different spaces that we'd visited, I could see it off in the near distance. I was also very curious as to what the inside of it looked like. Seeing the people along the streets also enhanced my desire to make an event that is inviting/welcoming to all. Missy was a great guide as to what the community was about, what it needs and how people respond to it. I hope to attend meetings within the community and hand out flyers door to door to get a feel for who lives there and also give them the chance to know who I am.
