Hello Neighbor

Hey neighbors! My name is Kent Oliver. If we haven't met already, I've been your neighbor here on the near east side since 2008. I moved to the neighborhood for the same reason many of you did...affordable housing! Housing and its affordability is something that has/is changing before our eyes, and is more often than not a topic of discussion among neighbors. 

What has not changed is the rich cultural history of our neighborhoods...Denver Heights...Dignowity Hill..Government Hill...Nevada Street...Historic Gardens. From the Czechs and Polish who built our century old homes to the African Americans who built a strong business community and raised families here and now the diverse population of all ethnic, economic and cultural backgrounds....a rich history unlike anywhere else in the city. A history we must all treasure and preserve to the best of our ability.
