About the Team:

This book arose from oral interviews and neighborhood meetings, considerable research and interviews with community members. While each chapter was authored by a lead writer, all members of the team contributed to each area’s research, editing, search for images and photography, walking tours, design, and stories and, as such, this book’s “DNA” is interwoven among all members. The authors and creative team are listed below.
