5 year, well now the checkpoint for year five has come. Now five years after we have successfully publicized the events we are able. Well now that more people come by we’ve started to get a feeling of how this will be in the future. Gladly now there has been people willing to come and sell food to the people. But we do get various amounts of themes to show such as video games or various art genres. Not only that but you can also hear more people talking about the activities and other subject that come up. They are engaging like this purpose of this project is supposed to do. Now some generous people have funded us to be able to add more attractions like a place to just be with your friends or start up a conversation with people that you’ve never meet. This is a very great community project that has thankfully gone to the right side. And this, I mean, was not a waste of time and money, and this community has successfully come closer.
36 years after we started the project of hosting event on vacant lots. Now we can fully see how much we have grown. As you can see here it is no longer just the vacant lots that are taking up space it has expanded to some shops staying permanent like some shops from first Friday. But, now food trucks still come in so we get a variety of flavor in the block. From hot dogs to crème Brule and from seafood to pie. You can also hear tons a tons of conversations happening around; such as the banter of laughing, yelling to get attention, and plain straight up talking. But why do people come you might be thinking? And the answer to that is simple to make connects with others. Simple as that.
Cost, effectiveness, flaws, good side, most resources; The reason for choosing this is the stake holders that I talked to gave me these things that needed to be incorporated
Strategies:
Implemented:
Some places in they have started to add more attractions such as food trucks
Potential:
The chosen strategy that was mixed and combined were to use the vacant lots to host events. This way you resolve two problems with one solution, and possibly many others, such as making it more appealing to the eye.
