“Reset”, Katie B.

During a First Friday I lucked out and saw Katie B.  I asked her if she’d participate on my project.  She was willing and contributed a word.  During the interview, she said that she was glad that I was doing this project specifically at this location and talked about her connection to the area.  This got me thinking about how I could add this question to the questions that I had been asking in these interviews.  Asking everyone about their connection to the area after this added a lot of context to the subsequent interviews. Thanks a million Katie!

first question:
_ Could you state your name please?

_ My name is Katie.

second question:
_ Could you describe in one word, what it was like for you to go through the pandemic?

_ Yes, I would say Reset.  So, I personally love that this installation was done here.  Because, I stop here all the time when I go skating.  It’s like a nice spot to just kind of people watch and take in the community.  So…

_ So, you have a connection to this area?

_  I do.  I do.  I love it down here.  I actually live down here as well.  So, …definitely my community.
