MY AVONDALE!
by Sharon D. MurphyResident . . . My family moved to Jay St. from Glenwood Pl. in November 1966.
My Project. . . Documentation of the Revitalization around Avondale.
Why? I was 14 when the 1967 Riots took place on Burnet Ave, Rockdale Ave and Reading Road.
I stood on the back porch with my mother and watched the National Guard drive up Hickory St. Avondale was forever changed by the 1967 Riots.
Was the change good or bad? According to economics it was time for a change!
I want to challenge the preconceived ideas people have about Avondale.
Change comes to Glenwood Avenue: The Alston Park Apartments
