Tonya, Highland Park Resident, Lincoln Heights Adjacent Resident Lumis Fesitval 2015
El Huarache Azteca has been in the neighborhood for years, and for many still living in the neighborhood, despite whatever rating is posted in the window, is still a spot to go for delicious Mexican food. Tony and friends, no matter the time past and distance that separates them, remember it fondly but haven’t been back because of the changing times.

Highland Park Neighborhood Council Members Lumis Festival 2015
Ask the Institute of Urban Archiving team what we are doing and what we are all about. We talk potential Lincoln Heights community partners and how to stay in touch. Curiosity is our best friend. We learn from each other and is the best way to get to know one another. We ask questions about what community members are seeing in their own neighborhood. What they want their neighborhood to be and memories they have had.
The Cart, or Mobile Research Lab, it’s evolution, and its useful purpose to take around the neighborhood, inviting people for free coffee in exchange for conversations about changes on their block.
“Why don’t you do it in Highland Park?”
It was a great way to get to know what more the Neighborhood Council can offer their residents.
