A
A

A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Library
for
their
support
for
this
project,
the
library,
the
friends
of
the
library
partnered
with
Darlene
and
Sarah,
to
support
this
project.
We
believe
it
aligns
with
our
mission
to
bring
our
employer
to
our
residents
and
preserve
curate
and
archive
the
images
and
oral
entries
of
our
community.
Please
visit
the
library.
Often
the
exhibit
is
at
Main
scene
and
the
adult
fiction
room
and
it
will
change
as
we
get
more
photos.
We
will
also
have
an
active
website
which
will
archive
team
that
is
so
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
Darlene
Devita.
A
She
is
a
boston-based
freelance,
professional
photographer.
Who's
worked
extensively
for
corporate
and
non-profit
clients.
More
importantly
for
us
here,
as
we
celebrate,
this
exhibit
he's
an
18
year
old
year
resident,
not
year
old,.
A
We
fell
in
love
with
the
city
the
moment
that
she
moved
here.
She
began
the
people
of
Chelsea
project
in
2016,
going
out
on
the
streets
of
Chelsea
with
a
camera
and
a
pop-up
backdrop
to
photograph
her
friends
and
neighbors.
The
project
went
on
three
Hyannis
in
the
early
days
of
the
pandemic
shutdown,
but
Dar
quickly
saw
how
the
spicy
little
city
pulled
together
in
crisis,
and
she
fired
up
her
cameras
again
to
document
that
effort
to
continue
this
project.
A
She
then
realized
that
images
alone
were
not
enough,
because
Chelsea
is
and
always
was
and
had
been
an
immigrant
Community
filled
with
stories
that
make
up
its
layered
history.
The
voices
of
the
people
photographing
also
need
to
be
heard,
so
her
fellow
citizens
were
interviewed
as
well
as
photographs,
and
the
project
became
one
of
words
and
pictures
dog
has
received
three
grants
from
the
Chelsea
cultural,
Council
and
Heritage
grants
for
this
project.
A
A
Three
years
ago,
Dara
brought
friends
and
colleagues
Sarah
Putnam
in
as
a
collaborator
on
the
people
of
Chelsea
project,
primarily
to
help
in
Spanish-speaking
situations
with
interviews
and
providing
another
set
of
eyes
and
Sarah
has
been
in
her
own
right,
a
freelance
photographer
and
writer
for
National
limitations
and
organizations
for
decades.
Sarah
will
will
moderate
tonight's
handling
session.
A
B
Welcome
I
get
to
introduce
this
awesome
panel,
so
starting
here,
Juliana
Cardona
was
born
in
Colombia,
grew
up
in
East
Boston.
She
and
her
husband
moved
to
Chelsea
in
2008.,
where
they're
raising
their
age
of
eight
children
and
as
a
mother
of
eight
Julian
is
probably
one
of
the
foremost
experts
on
resources
for
families
and
children
in
Chelsea
for
children.
B
Although
public
schools
here
and
have
participated
in
many
local
extracurricular
activities
and
events,
Daniela
Perez
Lopez
was
born
and
raised
in
Chelsea,
her
parents,
both
immigrated
from
Guatemala
and
she's,
been
responsible
for
her
three
younger
siblings.
While
her
parents
work
multiple
jobs,
she's
a
junior
at
Chelsea,
High
School,
where
she
takes
honors
classes
and
in
the
summer
she's
worked
at
La
collaborative.
B
B
Sergeant
star
Chung
was
born
in
Vietnam
and
moved
from
Pennsylvania
to
Chelsea,
with
her
mother
and
younger
siblings,
when
she
was
eight
after
her
parents
divorced
so
growing
up
here
she
was
involved
in
sports
and
a
fair
amount
of
trouble.
She
says
absolutely
she
came
out
when
she
was
13.
married,
her
wife,
Jackie
in
2018
and
their
daughter
star
was
born
in
2020..
B
C
C
At
the
time
were,
the
founders
was
back
there.
Oh
and
I
decided
I
had
this
backdrop,
which
came
off
my
late
sister,
which
is
in
my
statement
you
can
read
about
but
I
was
like
I
want
to
go
out
and
just
photograph
people
in
Chelsea
and,
like
you
know
it
was
it
was
the
introduction.
I
fell
in
love
with
the
city
of
the
moment.
I
came
here
in
2004,
I
just
started,
driving
around
and
I
just
felt
very
connected
and.
C
But
I
thought
I'll
just
go
out
and
do
some
portraits
and
I
started
photographing
and
I
went
out
for
a
couple
of
days
and
then
I
went
to
City
Hall
and
I
set
up
up
there
and
then
I
realized
I'm.
Just
taking
portraits
there's
stories
to
be
learned
in
the
city
and
so
I
started
interviewing
and
then
of
course,
I
realized.
I,
don't
speak
Spanish,
I'm
very,
very
little.
It's
bad
I
think
so.
C
Sarah
and
I
are
very
good
friends,
great
photographer,
Rider
and
I.
Don't
know
if
I
just
asked
you
to
come
along
with
me
one
day
and
it
just
was.
Oh
my
God.
This
is
great
and
we
just
had
so
much
fun
and
we
just
we'd,
see
people
or
they'd,
see
us
and
we
just
grab
them
and
say
you
know.
C
Can
we
take
our
picture
so
we
started
asking
a
lot
of
questions
and
it
just
kept
evolving
from
there
and
but
really
what
it
allowed
for
me
was
just
I
mean
this
city
like
I,
said:
I've
always
had
great
respect
for
it.
You
know,
especially
what
we've
been
to
In
the
last.
You
know
few
years
when
I
knew
how
resilient
and
amazing
this
community
was,
but
I
had
a
hard
time.
C
There
were
times
where
I'm
like
I,
don't
know
if
I
could
keep
doing
this,
but
when
Sarah
came
along
and
we
really
became
colleagues
and
I
said
this
at
one
point:
I
don't
think
I
would
continue
to
do
this
if
it
wasn't
for
you,
it's
a
lot
of
work,
but
it's
a
labor
of
love
and
I
joke.
If
I
could
just
do
this
for
my
living,
I
would
just
because
every
time
I'm
out
there
I
meet
somebody
new
and
I'm
like
I
want
to
photograph
everybody.
C
C
You
know
people
that
I
voted
John,
I
photographed,
John
he's
not
in
this
particular
show,
but
you
know
so
in
any
case,
just
as
time
went
on
I
the
stories
just
kept
coming
and
coming,
and
then
they
got
more
in-depth
and
in
the
history
of
Chelsea
and
the
the
people
that
make
up.
You
know
this
city
and
the
diversity
of
this
city.
C
This
is
all
the
things
that
I
love
about
Chelsea
and
every
like
I
said
every
time
we're
out
there
there's
just
more
and
more
stories
and
during
the
pandemic,
I
did
I
went
out
and
I
just
had
to
go
out
and
dunk.
It
and
I
worked
a
lot
with
the
local
Teva
and
it
really
kind
of
hit
me
saying
you
know
to
do
something
meaningful
with
my
work,
and
it
was
the
first
time
that
I've
ever
been
able
to
do
something
that
I
think
really.
C
You
can
read
joy
and
hope
and
I
enjoy
it.
So
much
and
other
people
enjoy
it
and
I
find
you
that
they
do
and
people
enjoy
telling
me
their
story
I'm,
so
appreciative
that
people
give
me
their
time
and
they're
like.
Oh,
you
know
this
is
great.
You
know
we're
telling
her
you're
letting
me
tell
my
story.
I've
only
had
one
person
with
a
good
one
and
that's
a
funny
story,
but
that's
all
it's
about
so
in
any
case,
I
don't
know
if
that
so
yeah,
but
that's
it.
C
But
you
know
what
just
the
project
will
keep
going,
because
the
more
I'm
involved
with
this
city
and
especially
I,
bring
up
Cole
business
project,
it's
not
about
covert,
but
during
that
pandemic
and
the
way
that
this
city
came
together,
the
whole
Community
everybody.
Oh
my
God,
and
you
know
we
were
the
hardest
hit.
As
we
all
know
here
in
this
room.
C
You
know
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
and
the
way
that
we
were
able
to
come
through
it
with
this
community
is
just
mind-blowing
and
but
at
the
same
time
no
it's
not
Chelsea's
been
through
so
much.
You
know,
fires
and
receivership
and
a
bad
reputation.
You
know:
I
I've,
never
I
had
people
when
I
first
moved
here
that
were
photographers
and
I
said
yeah
I
got.
This
walked
I'm
going
to
have
my
studio
here
and
they
said,
but
you
know
what
about
you
can
use.
C
Chelsea
is
your
address
and
I'm
like
oh
of
course,
and
they're
like
you
know,
do
you
think
people
you
know
want
to
go
to
Chelsea
and
I
said?
Well,
they
don't
want
to
go
to
Chelsea,
then
I
don't
need
to
work
with
them.
You
know
I
mean
really
so
it
was
most
other
things.
I'm,
not
good
at
I,
just
kind
of
go
as
a
as
I
go
foreign.
F
Justice,
some
of
the
resources
that
have
been
very
useful
for
my
family,
for
example
the
Camino
program
that
the
Chelsea
Public
Schools,
offer
the
Kelly
School
in
particular,
where
children
do
a
duolingual
program
when
they're
learning
whole
Spanish
and
English
at
the
same
time,
they're
learning
how
to
speak
it
and
write
it
and
I
think
that
as
someone
I'm,
actually
a
certified
medical
interpreter.
So
that's
actually
my
career.
So
as
someone
who
grew
up
with
us
in
an
immigrant
household,
that's
actually
been
very
valuable.
F
So
I've
seen
the
value
of
being
bilingual
and
also
I
see
a
lot
of
support,
as,
for
example
like
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
This
is
a
place
where
my
children
have
participated
all
the
way
from
the
eldest
who's
20
to
the
youngest
right.
Well,
what
do
they
have
an
age
limit,
but
my
youngest,
that
is
there
right
now
he's
seven
they've
all
learned
how
to
swim
there.
They
also
go
there
after
school
and
I.
F
Think
it's
very
important
important
for
working
parents
to
have
these
resources,
otherwise
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
work
if
I
work
for
these
resources
that
are
available
in
the
community
and
some
of
the
challenges.
I
think
that
some
of
the
things
that
saddened
me
sometimes
is,
for
example,
when
I
go
to
the
playground
and
I
meet
other
parents
and
I
talk
to
them
and
they're
not
aware
of
the
resources
in
their
own
Community
like
they
have
no
idea
what's
happening.
F
Tell
them
do
you
know
about
this,
you
know
about
that,
and
they
have
no
idea
about
what's
happening.
So
that
makes
me
sad.
I
also
find
that
once
the
kids
get
to
a
certain
age,
especially
the
teenagers
I,
have
teenagers.
They
worry
like
they
want
to
do
things
like
exercise.
You
know
they
do
wrestling.
F
They
do
this
or
participate
in
an
extra
curriculum
activities,
and
they
want
to
do
something
outside
of
school
to
support
it
and
I
found
that
it's
very
challenging
in
Chelsea,
because
we
don't
have
any
like
free
gyms
or
like,
for
example,
like
a
YMCA,
so
some
of
my
children
have
to
go
to
East
Boston
to
be
able
to.
You
know
to
exercise,
which
is
something
that
is
very
healthy.
It's
very
good,
physically
and
also
for
your
mental
health.
F
F
Those
of
us
who
have
been
here
in
the
community
and
those,
and
mostly
speaking
for
the
Immigrant
Community,
because
that's
basically
what
Chelsea's
made
of
I
think
think
it
would
be
nice
if
they
could
repave
Us
by
helping
us
by
giving
us
something
nice
like
a
nice
gym
where
children
can
go
to
after
school
or
maybe
like
a
like
a
roller
skate
like
indoor
roller
skater,
and
this
roller
skating,
rink,
or
something
like
that
kind
of
like
when
I
grew
up.
I,
remember
I
used
to
go
to
that
place
in
Summerville
the
good
times.
F
I
think
it
was
fun.
So
you
know
that
was
like
a
place
where
children
can
go
and
hang
out,
but
they
are
going
to
be
in
a
safe
space.
So,
instead
of
going
to
hang
out
at
somebody's
house
where
you
don't
know
what's
happening
in
that
house,
they
can
go
somewhere.
That
is
public,
that's
indoors,
that
is
supervised,
that
they're
doing
healthy
things.
So
that's
something
that
I
would
like
to
see
Justin.
Thank
you.
G
Well,
those
that
you
know
what
I
noticed
from
like
living
here
in
Chelsea
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
going
on
here
in
Chelsea,
for
example
like
affordable
housing.
You
know
the
rides
going
up
high.
You
know
the
roads
like
like
I,
guess
you
can
say
like
halfway
fixed.
G
I
guess,
like
the
bridges
as
well.
Like
you
know,
the
summer
tunnel
like
going
to
Boston
is
a
female
and
cause
a
lot
of
traffic
here
in
Chelsea,
pressing
mostly
within
the
education,
because
in
not
all
schools
have
programs.
For
you
know,
students
to
actually
you
know,
go
and
actually
experience
what
colleges
like,
for
example,
like
the
high
school.
G
G
Make
cooking
food
because
carpentry
hair
stylists
and
they
come
out
with
a
job
there,
but
in
here,
is
where
they
can
be
going
to
a
normal
high
school
they're.
In
about
like
certain
things,
you
know,
like
certain
classes
you
may
take
and
like
have
to
like,
find
a
way
to
look
for
a
job
like,
for
example,
I
am
taking
like
two
bunkerfield
processes,
and
you
know
I'm
like
also
working,
and
it
took
me
like
a
lot
of
effort
to
actually
look
for
a
job
like
I.
G
G
And
I
guess:
I
I
guess
you
can
see
at
the
moment
I
don't
really
have
like
a
person
to
be
afraid
of,
but
like
I
feel
like
you're
on
the
future,
I
will
have
like
a
big
voice.
You
know
to
say
all
these
problems
that
are
going
on.
B
So
Roy
there
are
challenges
to
running
a
local
business.
There
are
challenges
to
being
a
local
politician
and
to
call
the
pandemic
challenge
is
a
gross
understatement,
but
you
hit
the
trifecta.
H
Yes,
what
is
known
here
in
Chelsea,
you
know
and
you've
got
a
lot
of
people
understand
that
part
outside
of
Chelsea,
but
like
many
communities,
City
councils
that
we
have,
we
need,
we
all
have
other
jobs
and
because
a
is
not
really
a
substantial
pay
that
it's
not
like
Boston
is
getting
a
raise
right.
Now,
125
000
there
are
Cambridge.
You
know,
communities
like
Chelsea
outside
of
the
big
cities.
You
know
in
general,
all
of
their
City
councilors
Select
them,
for
you
know,
townsmen
whatever
you
know,
I
call
them.
H
The
difficulty
about
Chelsea
is
like
Chelsea
is
that
Chelsea
has
a
lot
of
issues.
Community
is
like
Chelsea,
you
know,
art
isn't
the
same
as
you
know,
clearing
like
writing.
So
the
job
as
a
city
counselor
over
here
in
Chelsea
is
a
lot
more
intensive
and
challenging
issues
than
say
ready.
So
that's
number
one.
So
we
know
that
we
have.
You
know
responsibility.
We've
got
the
responsibility,
it's
just
the
the
amount
of
issues
that
you
have
to
solve
a
little
bit
more
complex
and
therefore
I
need
more
time.
H
Challenges
is
that
we
as
we
all
just
have
one
very
you
know.
Time
is
limited
taking
time
away
from
your
one
thing
in
your
life
work
and
family
and
saying:
okay,
spend
time
committed
to
the
community,
so
I'm,
putting
my
name
on
the
ballot
and
I
promise
to
do
a
good
job
and
so
forth.
Yeah
it
takes
time
and
effort.
So
when
that,
when
an
issue
like
the
pandemic
comes
up,
Way
Beyond
the
norm,
all
of
a
sudden,
you
know
it
totally.
Engulfs
me
at
least
where
the
city
council
president.
H
The
one
thing
that
the
pandemic
also
did
was
put
up
all
my
time.
Basically,
yeah
I
had
to
shut
down
the
business,
so
I
kind
of
hatched
up
to
it,
but
again
that
job
wasn't
paying
me,
so
the
council
is
still
what
it
was.
So
I
still
had
to
make
that
his
name.
So
you
know
that's
why
the
other
add-on,
the
real
thing
and
I'm
thankful
that
that
allowed
me
to
still
be
able
to
do.
H
My
will
my
now
larger
role
as
a
city
council
president
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
I
think
everyone's
familiar
I
know:
Darlene,
you
know
photographed
what
we
did
myself
and
partnering
around
with
the
last
day
of
collaborative
and
creating
two
literally,
if
you're
an
accessory
without
a
plan
inside
you
know,
Gladys
had
the
volunteers
that
I
have
to
know
him
and
it
was
a
great
collaboration.
H
You
know,
I
I
had
the
resources
I
looked
at
my
dad.
You
know
45
years
of
of
being
a
wholesale
Bakery
and
me
driving
his
delivery
routes
and
all
that
I
had
all
the
contacts
and
Food
Supplies
grocery
stores
produce
market.
You
name
it
so
when
the
time
came
to
go
Scavenging
you
know,
I
had
to
roll
with
it
to
my
head
and
they
were
more
than
happy
to.
You
know
give
us
what
we
were
looking
for,
and
you
know
glad
it's
a
pretty
good
announcement
but
yeah.
H
That
was
the
challenge
because
absolutely
not
expect
it
to
be
a
full-time
student
counselor
and
still
balance
everything
else.
B
When
Dara
and
I
interviewed
you,
you
said,
and
I
quote,
I've
been
my
worst
here
and
I've
been
my
best
here.
I've
seen
my
worst
here
and
I've
seen
my
best
here,
Chelsea
is
like
a
family
member
that
you
can't
get
rid
of.
I
So
I've
been
here
since
I
was
eight
years
old.
I
wasn't
born
here
when
I
called
this
place
home.
This
is
definitely
home
to
me.
People
ask
me
where
I'm
from
I,
don't
say:
Vietnam
I,
say
Chelsea
and
for
some
reason,
no
matter
where
I
go
in
the
world.
Everybody
knows
about
Chelsea,
I
didn't
know
about
Chelsea.
Oh,
you
guys
were
the
test,
both
dangerous
comedies.
I
How
the
police
department
started
in
the
1800s
they'll
bring
up
like
different
things
that
they
know
about
Chelsea
you
know,
and,
and
so
as
I
was
growing,
I
didn't
go
too
much,
but
as
I
was
done,
I
guess.
I
Even
going
through
college,
you
know,
I
took
on
psychology
start
initially
started
as
a
double
major
in
criminal
justice
and
then
Salem
State
College
became
a
university,
and
the
kind
of
points
for
graduation
changed
a
little
bit.
So
it
didn't
really
coordinate
my
financial
aid
to
stay
to
double
major,
so
I
ended
up
just
keeping
the
CJ
criminal
justice
as
a
minor
and
I.
Remember
working
for
our
lost
connection
at
Best,
Buy
and
Cambridge.
I
We
would
call
Cambridge
Police
when
we
had
like
you
know,
people
would
come
and
steal,
iPads
and
stuff
like
that
or
whatever
they
sell
CDs
and
you
know
chase
after
them
and
stuff
I
was
like
all
right.
Let's
just
call
the
police
system,
it's
not
it's!
Nothing.
I
should
be
doing
that.
I
had
a
care
which
cops
on
me.
You
should
be
a
police
officer
and
I.
E
I
I
and
the
same
cameras
now
take
the
test
so
see
how
you
do
I
said:
okay,
I'll
take
the
test,
so
I
took
the
test.
There
were
thousands
and
thousands
and
thousands
of
people.
Nowadays
we
go,
there
might
be
10
people
alive.
The
shelves
just
not
as
desirable
anymore,
so
so
I
I
got
my
scores
back.
I
was
in
99,
so
I
scored
number
two
and.
I
Thank
you
and
I
went
to
the
academy
and
I
felt
nice,
because
since
I
was
eight
years
old
I've
only
moved
out
of
Chelsea
as
a
two.
Here
we
go
so
I've
been
here
35
now
so
quick
method,
25
25
plus
years,
you
know
so
Chelsea's
my
entire
life,
my
role
in
this
community,
getting
on
with
the
police
department
being
able
to
live
and
serve
the
folks
that
I
grew
up
with.
I
You
know
it's
honestly
a
pleasure,
because
if
you
go
out
there
and
people
already
know
who
you
are
they've
seen
you
through
Chelsea
schools,
you
know
they
remember
you
as
a
little
kid
from
the
supermarket
or
you
know
the
corner
store.
You
know
where
it
used
to
be
little
peaches.
I
I
You
know
people
make
bad
decisions,
and
at
that
point
you
know,
there's
a
whole
the
world
through
the
law,
enforcer
and
then
there's
also
the
role
of
the
community
caretaker,
the
guardian,
who
has
to
look
out
for
the
people
who
are
going
through
crisis
and
I,
saw
that
like
widespread
Miranda
the
pandemic,
it
was
amazing
with
the
food
banks
coming
in
the
National
Guard.
I
Coming
in
especially
so
many
vendors
donating,
you
know,
we
were
there
at
details,
most
teachers
doing
traffic,
but
myself,
including
and
other
offices,
would
help
pack
bags
because
you
know
majority
of
the
ocean
is
truly
do
broken.
So
you
know
nobody,
nobody
can
have
some
Chelsea
except
us,
I,
guess
right,
yeah
and
I'm
happy
to
be
here
and
I'm
retired
here.
Thank
you.
B
D
Yeah,
since
our
Darlene
invited
me
I'll,
ask
her
a
question
in
all
of
your
anthropological
research
that
you've
been
doing.
What's
the
most
like
remarkable
thing
that
you
found
about
this
place,.
C
Okay,
wow,
you
know
I,
like
I,
said
earlier,
I
mean
it's.
This
sense
of
community
and
I
didn't
say
this
before
it's
funny
tonight.
I
want
you
guys
to
know.
I
had
to
show
this
show
was
a
Cambridge.
We
had
a
huge
turnout,
it
was
great
and
you
know
I.
You
know
it
was
a
lot
of
photographed.
This
tonight
means
so
much
to
me
because
it's
my
community,
this
is
about
the
community.
It's
not
about
photography,
someone!
You
know
I,
think
really
during
the
pandemic.
Again.
C
C
You
know,
I
see
some
of
my
friends
from
the
collaborative
that
have
kept
me,
sane
and
but
I
think
really
just
like
I
said:
I've
enjoyed
this
community
since
I've
been
here,
but
really
the
most
amazing
thing
was
once
again,
I
mean
living
through
another
resilient
time
for
this
city
that
I
experienced.
You
know,
I
wasn't
here
for
the
fires.
I
wasn't
here
for
a
receivership
and
all
that
stuff
you
know,
but
to
experience
that
showed
me
what
this
community
is.
C
It's
amazing
and
it's
not
just
because
we're
small
it's,
because
we
have
incredible
groups,
foundations.
You
know,
activists,
you
know,
that's
why
Chelsea
is
so
special
so
and
this
is
the
collaboration
you
know
what
I
do.
I
it's
a
collaboration,
I
mean
bringing
all
of
us
together.
It's
a
collaboration.
It's
not
it's!
You
know,
let's
talk
about
Chelsea
and
so.
C
D
C
And
it
was
2003
and
a
good
friend
of
mine's
mother
was
a
realtor
and
she
loved
real
estate
and
all
that
stuff
and
it
was
January
of
2003.
She
said,
there's
a
shoe
factory
in
Chelsea,
that's,
oh,
and
you
know,
and
back
then
it
was
like
you
know,
lost
you
know,
artists.
It
was
supposed
to
be
artist
lofts
where
I
live
is
they're
very
few
artists,
as
you
know,
but
it
was
2003
and
I
went.
C
You
know,
like
I
said
it
was
January,
our
building
was
I
mean
it
was
dirt
and
I
mean
there
were
no
floors.
I
mean
it
was
all
crazy,
but
I
went
in
and
I
just
I
got
a
good
sense
for
it.
I'm
like
this
could
be
a
live
workspace
and
it
seemed
to
make
sense
and
I'd
like
to
Chelsea
I'd
love
going
over.
That
bridge.
You
know,
and
so
I
put
500
deposit
down
and
I
was
like
okay,
I
guess.
C
So
that's
how
I
got
here
and
and
there's
more
stories
which
I
will
share
with
you
back
at
the
back
in
the
ranch
there,
but
but
yeah.
That's
that's!
How
I
came
here
but,
like
I
said,
I
I
had
a
lot
of
time
to
think
about
what
I
was
doing
and
I
went
into.
You
know
the
Waterfront
Medford
Street
and
you
know
the
house
which
I
love
that
area
and
there
were
some
beautiful
brown
Stones.
C
C
G
G
H
I'll
I'll
jump
in
here
being
involved
in
politics
for
25
years,
worked
at
different
levels
of
government
cities,
states
being
an
advocate
for
Chelsea.
H
A
lot
of
that
comes
from
with
the
power
of
political
influence.
Now
we
just
went
through
this
pandemic
and
I
could
think
of
some
really
good,
powerful
people
and
somehow,
because
of
what
we
did,
we
got
the
attention,
and
now
we
have.
You
know
somebody
here
I
say
get
once
again:
I
say
her
name
Gladys
David,
because
of
what
we
did
in
the
spotlight
that
we
kept
on
getting
and
I
mean
by
that
the
media.
H
We
therefore
all
of
a
sudden,
was
able
to
have
someone
who
has
you
know
Charlie
Baker
on
a
call.
You
know
you
know
being
able
to
call
him
text
him
and
that's
great
because
you
say
Okay
Chelsea
needs
something.
You
know
that's
what
you're
supposed
to
you
hope
to
have
this
and
I
can
think
of
having
worked
at
the
state
actually
working
at
the
you
know,
mashed
on
I.
Remember
whenever
a
certain
politician
called
if
it
was
the
Senate
President.
H
If
it
was
a
speaker
if
it
was
manino,
things
got
moving,
you
wanted
to
get
things
those
things
done
and
my
frustration
was.
You
know
there
were
so
many
things
that
Chelsea
so
many
social
injustices,
environmental
injustices,
that
I
wish
that
we
could
have
had
that
sort
of
influence
to
just
call
you
know
and
say:
hey:
can
you
take
care
of
this
and
then
boom?
It
gets
done.
You
know,
I
grew
up.
We
had
a
full
clothes
for
10
years.
You
know
give
me
a
break
just
recently.
We
saw
what
happened
with
his
pestus.
H
H
The
airport
I
see
East
Boston,
getting
certain
mitigation
and
and
that's
what
you
know,
rallying
them
with
money
and
building
Parks,
meaning
we
don't
get
anything
listed
on
and
on
and
on
and
as
that
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on
and
as
a
resident
of
Charleston
has
an
elected
official.
So
it
pisses
me
off.
H
And
so,
if
there
was
a
hope
in
a
wish
this,
how
those
communities
got
there,
the
new
the
wells
didn't
take
money,
it
really
didn't
take
long.
It
took
of
those
and
the
most
frustrating
thing
that
I
have
in
this
community.
Is
we
just
don't
know
you
know
it's
a
simple
registration
get
out
and
it's
it's
I
mean
it's.
It's
a
joke
that
we
elect
City
District
City
councils
get
like
80
votes.
H
It
was
just
that's
the
question
because
I
know
we
have
and
if
someone
say,
oh
no,
you
have
this
large
population
of
immigrants.
You
can't
register
I,
see
because
I
know
what
the
numbers
are.
You
know
you
give
me
15
000
people
who
go
out
and
vote
in
Chelsea
watch
how
fast,
because
the
politicians
when
they
want
to
get
flashy
and
they
want
to
do
that-
photo
op
and
they
come
out
with
the
big
fake
check
or
look
where
we
are.
H
They
want
to
be
in
a
rhythm
cutting
ceremony
or
whatever
they
want
to
do.
They
go
where
the
votes
are
people.
They
do
those
PR
things
in
communities
where
there's
political
power
and
they
also
make
sure
they
don't
do
anything
stupid
in
those
communities,
because
yeah
I've
watched
I've
seen
it
you
know
being
in
those
places
at
the
State
House.
Oh,
you
got
to
be
careful
if
you're
going
to
do
something
in
that
Community,
because
you.
H
E
E
G
Don't
know
I
feel,
like
you
know,
they're
they're.
Simply
like
you
know
many
ways
you
can
be
involved.
You
know
with
the
city,
and
you
know
like
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see.
You
know
more
youth
jobs
available
for
the
end
of
the
youth.
G
H
Know
I
want
to
say
that
this
summer
was
a
incredible
experience
for
me.
I
have
always
participated,
you
know
again,
it
makes
my
dad
and
the
lack
of
Festival.
We
have
always.
You
know.
I've
spent
a
lot
of
my
time.
Raising
money
for
summer
jobs
program
is
a
good
thing,
but
with
this
past
summer,
I
got
to
be
involved.
H
H
Some
of
them
actually
already
knew
what
to
do.
One
particular
individual
Jimmy
Perino,
you
know,
have
a
collaborative
on
how
to
out
of
Lobby
wow
and
I
looked
at
them,
and
I
I
was
impressed
that
and
I
kept
on
telling
them
I
think
you
guys
are
doing
things
you
know.
So
it
was
that
incredible
and
they
really
have
this
energy,
and
you
know
doing
you
know
getting
involved
in
something
as
simple
as
a
campaign
that
they
were
calling
people
to
hear
someone
call
them
and
say:
please
come
out
the
boat.
H
H
The
same
group
got
together
with
other
students
and
decided
that
there
was
a
policy
at
the
you
know
in
the
school
that
they
were
not
in
agreement
with,
but
it
has
to
do
with
attendance
and
what
happens
when
it
committing
misses
or
too
many
missed
days
negatively
impacts
his
impacts,
their
you
know
their
grades,
so
we
I
swear.
We
had
nothing
to
do
with
it.
We
needed
to
develop.
We
just
watched
them
organize
themselves
about
not
being
happy
about
certain
things.
H
March
up
the
city
hall,
the
medical
school
committee
was
meeting
and
they
organized
themselves
and
you
know,
and
they
had
they
gave
it.
They
gave
it
to
students
and
say
hey
we're
not
happy
with
this
and
I
just
have
to
watch.
You
know
this
is
incredible:
I
love
this
so
and
then,
a
few
years
ago,
again,
a
couple
of
years,
it
reminded
me-
and
we
told
them-
I,
said
you
know.
H
A
few
years
ago
there
were
a
bunch
of
kids
who
yeah
more
than
happy
that
they
had
to
have
graduation
inside
all
the
time
and
they
wanted
to
feel
covered.
They
needed
to
get.
You
know
money
in
order
to
come
to
the
field,
and
otherwise
it
was
going
to
happen
and
the
school
department
had
said
no,
no
there's
no
way.
We
can
get
that
money,
there's
no
way
that
we
can
get
their
money
and
they
actually
circumvented
them
and
came
right
to
some
counselves.
H
H
One
of
the
reasons
that
I
got
involved
in
politics
is
because
I
got
pissed
off
when
I
was
18..
I
grew
up
in
the
Waterfront
Colonial
Park.
As
a
kid
was
a
park
that
had
swings,
slides
a
basketball
court
and
a
water,
a
water
fountain
and
it
went,
it
was
a
place
where
the
kids
in
the
neighborhood
went
to
get
their
summer.
Lunches
I,
remember
getting
waiting
for
that
summer,
lunch
and
when
they
redesigned
the
park,
and
they
turn
it
into
a
glorified
dog
park
because
they
didn't
want
kids
around
making
noise
anymore.
H
I
It's
called
use,
Elementor,
it's
out
of
289
Broadway
and
they're
open
to
16
to
21
years
old,
and
there
are
low
barrier
service,
meaning
that
they
don't
require
any
referral
or
ID
to
access
their
services,
and
they
that
you
will
have
access
to
laundry
dryer
showers,
food,
pantry
groups,
events
and
support
groups.
I
They
have
peer
mentals
on
site,
a
recovery
and
Navigator
and
a
family
partner,
so
that
started
I
want
to
say,
beginning
good
summer
and
it's
a
great
great
program
they're
at
its
waiting
on
Broadway.
If
anybody's
looking
for
resources
for
you,
if
you
want
them
towards
our
news,
Elemental.
C
E
C
Know,
I
photograph
them
there's
some
classes
at
school
and
these
conversations
that
they
have
and
they
talk
about
the
asbestos
issue.
And
how
do
you
feel
about
that?
There's
so
much
autonomy
I
wish
I
had
that
when
I
was
a
kid
with
the
Chelsea
Youth
Man
I
mean
they
protest.
They
you
know
fight
for
what
they
believe
in
I
mean
I'm
so
impressed
all
the
time
with
these
I
just
want
to
say
that,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
out
tonight
and
I
want
to.
C
Thank
you
guys,
because
this
is
what
it's
about
it's
about.
Chelsea.
You
know
this
whole.
You

I
want
to
keep
doing
this,

photograph
