Vanessa loves her childhood neighborhood, but the trajectory of the neighborhood has gone the wrong direction. It no longer represents the self-sustaining tight-knit community of her youth. She had always known it was special and deserved better, but that fact was driven home one night when she found a feature film on YouTube that spotlighted her house (in part 7 of 8).
She talks about her hopes for the neighborhood on the Worth Repeating stage, as part of our November third event with the theme "On The Street Where I live."
Worth Repeating is Texas Public Radio's live, storytelling event series that looks to bring the Sound of San Antonio out through the stories of your friends and neighbors
