Abstract/Description
Did you know that East Boston has chickens? Deysi Gutierrez moved to East Boston when she was seven from El Salvador. Years later, she wrote a petition to keep the chickens on the corner in front of Channel Fish. When the world was facing the first months of the Covid pandemic, Deysi was thinking about creating a place were neighbors could offer what they had, or take what they needed. That was the beginning of Greg's Little Free Pantry. This is its story. Produced by Bryan Martinez in August 2023.
Project description
Sidewalk Stories is a Boston Research Center (BRC) project endeavoring to promote a greater understanding of East Boston's spatial and environmental history. In partnership with Zumix, Maverick Landing Community Services, and the East Boston Social Centers, the BRC aims to install signs with text, a picture, and a QR code to encourage neighborhood passers-by to find out more about the history of a particular location. Once scanned, the QR code will lead to a micro history and links to further resources. This ongoing project piloted in 2024 with an audio story produced by Zumix teens.
