It’s Week Three, and I have noticed that some things change.<\/p>\n
In my internship, I just finished writing up the questions I’ll be asking our community members. I didn’t think I would be starting this all so quickly, but just next week the thing I thought defined my project will be over.<\/p>\n
When July comes I will start writing up an annual report for my organization–something that was only recently added to my project–and then I will be learning ArcGIS and making maps, and then I will be door knocking, and then I won’t even be here anymore.<\/p>\n
The Bridging Neighborhoods Program is changing itself too. We’re all in meetings twice a week trying to work out exactly how we’ll be rolling out a new aspect to our program (I’m actually not allowed to talk about it explicitly). This change will mean a huge shift in how we interact with the community, and I am so excited for it.<\/p>\n
And of course, another thing of change is Detroit.<\/p>\n
A good friend of mine was performing this last Thursday at Ford Field, and after a long week on my\u00a0feet, I decided I would walk around after without my shoes on. When I did this as a kid, I always had to watch out for glass, or for metal, or you can guess what else, but walking up and down Cass, where the streets are swept religiously, I found myself able to look down less and less.<\/p>\n
I have to admit it was pretty nice being able to walk barefoot, but I couldn’t help imagining the sweeper running up the street, picking up a pile like a broom, and leaving it in neglect as a barricade\u00a0in the road. In my head, the barricade blocks cars, and bikes, and views, and the wind picks up everything shiny\u00a0and leaves it between sidewalks and blades of grass.<\/p>\n
It was pretty nice being able to walk around barefoot. But under changing lights of GM I was left uneasy knowing there are men, women, and children on the other side of that barricade without any shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
