Real success stories in rebuilding a neighborhood

Kathleen Hirsch takes a journalistic approach to telling the stories of Jamaica Plain residents who fought hard -- and won -- against the tide of decline brought on by urban renewal in this Boston neighborhood. Skip the romantic introduction and read the interviews with the real people who, in spite of their many success, remain very active in spreading the revitalization to every corner of the neighborhood today.
