Mapping Station North- Photographs

W.North Ave and Charles Street.

In the past couple of weeks, I have learned that there are many different views on Station North. I never really realized how many lives were being affected until I started listening and researching more on the voices and what they had to say. Everyone wants change but not everyone looks at the whole dynamic of the potential circumstances it can bring. For example, change can bring more homelessness and replacement. On the other hand, change can bring money and diversity. It's interesting to see which of these outweighs the other in certain eyes.


I have been assigned to find old photographs of Station North. This is somewhat easy because of Google but it can also be challenging at times. I found tons of black and white pictures but it's hard to distinguish exactly where that photograph was taken. I have uploaded the pictures I have found and believe are useful. I am not done looking through the many pictures, but I want to collect as many pictures as I can and combine pictures of the area now (A now and then type of collage).

As a group, we are planning to take pictures of the different areas that were assigned for small assignment two. We are also trying to work with the other class and collaborate with their photography.
