Y’all know I’m a workaholic. I’ve decided to get out of the house at least once a week to explore the city I live in

This week’s exploration led me to Mitchell Street in South Downtown Atlanta, where I discovered and right next door!

Check them out!

Do you know what they’re saying after “blinded by the light?”

As summer draws to a close, I’m taking the time to appreciate things like the smell of freshly cut grass, the buzzing of bees, hearing the birds sing, the fluttering of butterflies… So much to be thankful for!

I find great comfort in this thought as well, as I approach another 7th birthday.

To a modern day visitor, Seneca village resembles much of the surrounding park. But what many people don’t know is that the area of Central Park, from West 82nd Street to West 89th Street, was home to Seneca Village, a community of predominantly Black people, many of whom owned property. Property which was taken from them by “eminent domain.”

Seneca Village began in 1825, when la downers John and Elizabeth Whitehead subdivided their land into 200 lots and sold them to Black business men and women who opened shops and turned the area into a thriving community. Now all that’s left of that village is this plaque.

Catching up on rest after my whirlwind one month visit in New York! I met so many wonderful people, including who is running as District 7’s first woman council member!

Petitioning ends tomorrow, so if you’re in District 7 in New York and you haven’t signed on yet, now’s the time to do it!
