 My family has been in this neighborhood since 1946. I grew up hearing the stories about Black Bottom and Paradise Valley from my dad. And he was like, Blacks had businesses and people looked out for each other. And it was those type of stories that made me say, wow, we just really need to bring, you know, that back. Just a few years ago, Katrina and her dad took it upon themselves to mow all the vacant lots around them and try and spruce up the neighborhood.
