Description

Sound recording of a community panel discussion on growing up in the Greenbush Neighborhood. Panelists Tony Bruno, Katie Stassi-West, Sam Moss, John Caliva, and Nick Baldarotta speak to their varying experiences as children and teenagers in the historic Greenbush neighborhood. Community traditions and important gathering places, like White Front Grocery, The Loft, Central High School, and numerous family residences are discussed. The panel also speaks to the urban renewal project in the 1960s which razed the neighborhood and the effect this had on the social fabric of the community of Italian, Albanian, Jewish, and African-American families that largely made up the Greenbush.
