Always on the look-out for an opportunity for intergenerational work, I was drawn to Abigail Bennett's enthusiasm, and depth of thought as a young adult and dedication to using public art for broad based community-building.

We met online during an American Planning Association webinar and she put her question in chat "What measures have been taken to ensure that these investments in low-income neighborhoods don't contribute to displacement? How do we revitalize without gentrifying?"

I responded to her question - "Great question! In fact, my Master of Architecture thesis was just that - "Gentrification without Displacement". Would you be interested in connecting?"

I'm grateful to have her with me in the overlap of the mural and parking lot projects. As both a mentee, and co-creator.

GRINNING - and there I was, unable to breathe!
