where i'm from...

i'm from a seasoned village, south of new boston. a place where people's faces are seen twice in one day. the homeless man beside the bakery shop. his jacket stained and stressed with the villages somber cries. the young ones hurt each day wondering what's outside the walls, away from the purple mists and above the seldom seen rays of the sun—the open hills to another place—another way of life.

brocktonians we are—swaying from hopelessness to the warm embraces of our small cottages, nestled together like fresh puppies against their mother.

A ride through Montello.

Empty parking lots, why? Can we do something with this space or is this for esthetics? More to come on my ride though Montello.

beginner's luck.

Beginning here is always the most daunting part. My goals for this blog is to open the minds and eyes to Brockton, MA. Although I'm not a 'born and raised' daughter of the city of Brockton, but I've been living here since i was 11—so close enough!

I will take pictures of the city on a 365 basis. Showing most importantly the good, the bad, and the plain truth of the city and it's people. Hopefully this blog reaches the higher hierarchies who run the city—maybe then the changes they have preached will become reality.

Welcome to 'A view of the city'!
