South Side Tour
This afternoon I went on a tour of some of the south side locations mentioned by my students in class. I started my photographic journey on what could be considered the “borderlines” of the south side, crossing over the 16th street bridge. The main highlights included an assortment of parks, neighborhoods, and of course “El Reys.” One thing that caught me off guard, for one reason or another, was the other prominent ethnicities represented in the area. For instance, in the El Rey shopping center there was also a specialty store concerning products of Mong origins/decent. I also was unaware of the previous Polish history in the area. As well as I feel I represented what the students told me I wish there was more for them to be excited about for me to investigate. I would really like to get a greater understanding of what the students do in their free time, what their options are, and how more can be created.
