My name is Melanie Smith and I’m a senior high school student attending The Young Women’s Leadership School @ Rhodes. The reason why I’m writing you is because I live in Strawberry Mansion and I happen to be doing my senior project on a community assessent of my neighborhood Strawberry Mansion . Anyway, I’ve been working on this project for months now and it’s due next week. I just got on my computer a few minutes ago to do some finishing touches and wasn’t expecting to do any further research, but I did and I found your article. Everything you wrote really stuck out to me and was very touching because it’s been hard for me to find the more personal articles about the neighborhood. All I could find were bits and pieces of statistics, and that’s not exactly what I wanted show. I wanted to show the personal side of the community not just the statistics because I believe the community has more to offer than that. But again I just wanted to thank you because your article has really been a source of help for me.
