One Step at a Time #4

These steps are similar to the ones I posted last time. I actually just happened upon these a few days ago, though. One of my professors assigned a project that requires us to visit another neighborhood in Philadelphia to learn about the culture and the context in which their native language is used. Like many areas in Philly, some parts look a little rougher than others. You can tell, though, there's been an effort to create beautiful things like art and green spaces here. There were at least five murals along just one of the streets alone that I took to walk back. These aren't terrible neighborhoods. It's a community where kids play, whole families live, a place that obviously wants to grow. And even in a setting that isn't given the finest resources there is still pride and a desire to present one's home and line each step with little bits of color.
