This photo of Matt Hinton, owner of Bell Street Burritos, shows the success that may come from vendors that rent a stand at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market in Atlanta, Georgia. Matt is a part time teacher, and he was not able to make enough money to support his family, so he started his business in the market. He talks about how it is easier to rent a stall at the market because it would take much more money and preparation time to rent his own building. The market gives people like Matt a chance to start off with few resources and make something special.

The wide range of diverse items sold in the market are depicted in these pictures which shows how all different types of people can find something they would like. The images can be used to analyze the presence of community by noticing who the customers are on a day to day basis.
My concern for this web page is that I may not be able to properly cite my source for the image I use because the photographers names or dates that the pictures were taken are not given. In addition to this source, I will include pictures that I have taken myself.
It is evident that gentrification is occurring in the Edgewood neighborhoods. As I drove past the homes, a modern three story home sat next to a small one story home with the windows boarded up. Taking the place of an apartment complex, it is interesting that the garden was built here. During this garden’s six years of existence, it has witnessed the demolition and renovation of many homes, becoming too expensive for the poor to purchase.

On their way home from school, these curious students stopped by to talk with me. I spoke to them about what they think about the garden, and they told me they liked to look at the chickens, and there was a band that came to play here. I later learned that what they were referring to the Fall Roots Festival last November where about 100 people joined in on this community unifying activity.

The vegetables grown in the ECLG are donated to food banks, and the children who help work in the garden can also sometimes bring food home with them. Upon speaking with the ECLG manager, Derek Pinson, I learned that they are planning to have a market stand set up so that the foods that are ripe enough to be eaten can be set on the stand for the surrounding community to take home with them.

The ECLG offers a time where elementary and middle school students can learn about how to grow their own food. In an urban environment like Atlanta, these children may not have ever had the opportunity to be exposed to how fresh, healthy foods are grown. The Garden Hour gives children the chance to become educated and excited about vegetables!
