coming up next on the form i'll be talking with tracy nelson about the pain arcade harvest that's coming up next on the form sunny you're watching espion inform and sitting with me today i have a young woman named tracy nelson and she's come to speak with us today about the pain arcade harvest fester ok first of all welcome thank you very much  what is your connection to i'm i'm going to tell you straight off the bat i'm from chicago and i i learned a lot of stuff u s p and short and so on this is my first time hearing about the harvest fest i did a little research yeah but i mean tell us what those business association this is a greater good business association production and to help bring back the big three and last year we did so we had our first year back big hurry up fifty two units fire trucks loads urging band when it was just the economy and the whole real estate market in and of you know a vacancy ratings that wasn't just residential that was business as well and we've had a big rebirth in the neighborhood i attribute to many things there's a lot of differen it's you know it's just a great atmosphere and we're trying to promote the neighborhood with all that it has to offer to marry people back into it and it's working but just to speak with you before even the interview and to find out all these different stories and you can definitely see the development on pain you can definitely see the difference between i won't tell nobody how the cost ten years ago with it but i can see changes in the neighborhoods and do you think that has all the positive things that are happening this seems like that's what i focused on with my kids and school and hurting area football it might work it really states and what not and i search sharing stories in this facebook page which has just  positive stuff because i do i do hear a lot of negative stuff but he said i like that you focused right on the positive and that so many people responded yeah now that's the i think that there is just so much history and so much right in the neighborhood i think that there's more of a  negative persona that's an attitude rather than a reality right and to say that there's not a crime or not white or whatever it anywhere anywhere right in the area would be incorrect right but to focus on it completely and blame it on any one area happened on the east side it's just so generalizing here that it's not fair to all the good things that take place every day and i didn't feel that you know there was a real forum for that in the community and i think that's why that he's been to so do you think that would negatively affects the growth of the of the the regrowing of the harvest says some of the negative i'm connections i think that it's all of the progress but i think that the progress has taken over now i think there's a lot of momentum and i mean having you know what are you most excited about for that weekend oh you know because i know that you have leverage from up you know apart from the perspective of you creating an organizing and i know you're going to have like what one twenty four hours of rest before you're starting up on the next right navigate somebody like i mean how where it was a good place to start it just seems like there's so much stuff going on you don't want to miss anything right right exactly i know that the poster is a guy ok if they did such a a broker and i've been in the business for about twenty years ok so tell us about the east side tell us about how the development how everything's been changing in the last ten years and i guess whether that's a fight the charges first and oh sure absolutely  i would say that you know from a decade ago when they last had the big three and it was still pretty big very you know the in between years i don't think the parade or the festival was the issue i think it was just  on real estate values in the whole economy that structure vacancy ratings i would not only homes but businesses you know there's an economic downfall there's a turn of events with the neighborhoods this being always been a kind of a starter neighborhood you know what i mean when you say starting a bit like for instance my grandparents are very immigrants as we all were people when they first moved to in the city right already you go to where you can afford to go ok and i think that typically those areas that are closest downtown seem to be the most affordable and it's not just here it's right streets and you know west side and what not and this is where the kind of american dream happens we get to come in and start a latino base business community that has done wonders for the out and go all over the news but really as expensive that if there were economic issues with the business then they're not going to be a part they're not going to invest in the parade so that makes sense right right and also like for instance where red again word six these days came through about three years ago and i know for the year before they came there was a lot of that little chit chat now stuff like oh it's just not going to fly and you addition of the light rail do you think that has anything to do with bringing people to the east side my development i think is the feeling border project that kind of reopening of industry on the board i don't think a lot of people realize all the new industry that's on it and i think that when this all heard within a decade ago i think that people thought there was going to be some instant success to it but it's like anything else you know it takes a while to build and grow and now we've got a major industry on it with health partners about the centers to help piece transportation we have new medical clinics we have the st paul port authority that's vested in cleaning up some of the lands that that's ready for resale and it's growing it you can see it though you can see it i mean just very very good ok i want to know why i'm always the best for restaurants like this so right right ok all right well thank you juristic recovered and inviting us here toward six i'm very interested in going in there because they were cooking something with garlic
