Abstract

With each passing year, the condition of the Hollywood neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee continues to worsen. The entire block, bounded by North Hollywood Street, Old Chelsea Avenue, Bryan Street, and Golden Avenue, is covered with remnants of what it used to be. I believe that tapping into the history of the place and focusing on a community of storytelling and food will strengthen the bonds between people of all genders ages, restore vitality throughout the block, and reestablish life.
