Thank you for your insight on this topic....Hi Goph. Thank you for your insight on this topic. I live just two doors down from the market on First St. My roommates and I moved in just in August, and were a little embarrassed to see our treebox on your blog, but it unfortunately had been that way since we moved in. The previous residents were not that concerned with the appearance of the house, but we are slowly improving it. But I do want to thank you for bringing attention to the Market and its sidewalk inhabitants. When we first moved in, my roommates and I didn't really notice it, but the past month or so, we have realized that the contstant litter in our treebox and our own front garden is probably a result of the market. There isn't a day that goes by that we do not have trash in our front yard/treebox. Thanks again for bringing attention to this issue. Please keep us updated!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361688549943661721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401523208681336634.post-37885777850027215152009-10-14T23:00:50.997-04:002009-10-14T23:00:50.997-04:00Hello,

I am also a Senior political science major at Susquehanna University. <br /><br />My senior research topic is gentrification, specifically how its impacts are felt by different individuals and groups. As part of my research, I am conducting interviews with folks in gentrifying neighborhoods, and asking them about both their observations and personal feelings. I plan to interview both one newer resident and one longtime resident, as well as one newer business owner and one longtime business owner.<br /><br />I came across your blog at the beginning of the year (I believe), and thought that you may be able to provide me with either a long-time or newer resident interview, depending on how long you have lived in the neighborhood. Would you be able and willing to provide me with an interview for this project?<br /><br />If so, do you have availabilities this coming Saturday, Sunday or Monday? I am returning home for fall break, and could conduct an in-person interview then. If not, an e-mail or telephone interview would work as well.<br /><br />Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can be e-mailed at: kittrell@susqu.edu. Thanks so much for your attention. I hope to hear from you soon.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Devin Kittrelllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056284280204939113noreply@blogger.com
