“Port of Call: Earth” by local artist Joe Scarpa, 2005
Patrick , Isaac and Cindy sit down with Southside Park Resident Jay Hansen at Insight Coffee Roasters. This is a guy who saw an empty lot while on his way to the Sunday Farmers Market and thought, “hmm, I should buy that and build a house on it.” And he did.
Who does that??
A guy who sees a neighborhood with one of the richest histories in our city, an amazing park, great houses – new and old, incredible diversity and proximity to just about everything. That’s who.
Once known for its famous 4th & T prostitute stroll, Southside Park is now a neighborhood that seems to have it all. They even have something that every other neighborhood in the city wants, but can’t have: a flying RV.
