Recovering Neighborhood
It's strange living in a recovering neighborhood.
You never know what elements gave the neighborhood its essential character until they're gone. Who can differentiate between a vacant lot full of litter, and the joys of a private jungle in your own neighborhood.
New construction sometimes goes on without touching the neighborhood's spirit, yet something as simple as a paint job can determine the identity of the street.

Faith and industry scrawl their marks across the fading heavens. An ancient struggle writ large in contrails, as though they dare one another to prove whose products are stronger and more numerous.
