Meet at the parking lot of Asa Messer School to discuss personal and systemic stories of the mid-century redevelopment in Olneyville. Using images, newspaper stories and our own observations, we will look into some of the ways that top-down “planning” changed this neighborhood, and the long-lasting effects. Jane’s Walk is a global festival of walking conversations inspired by urban activist Jane Jacobs. These interactive walks are led by local residents and community activists who share stories and ask questions that get people thinking, talking, and connecting with each other. Jane’s Walks are free, and anyone can participate. Wear comfortable shoes, meet your walk leader in the designated meeting spot, and get ready for a lively discussion.
