"There was that core group of people that had fought the road and fought the dilapidation, they formed that bond. And that excitement spread… I think moving into a neighborhood like this does change you. It gives you a grounding that we don’t have in so many other ways. People don’t stay in their jobs anymore. If you get mad at people in your church, you change your church. If you get mad at people in your school, you change your school… We’ve been in this house for 22 years, and we don’t plan to ever move.” – Terry Harper
