I really enjoy the diversity of the community as well as all of the redevelopment projects that have or are currently happening in the community. They have many new and exciting small businesses moving into each neighborhood which are helping more and more developers to be willing to invest into the communities. The John Boner Community Center is the pillar of the Community where many resources are houses which are free programs for the residents on the near east side.
