If you take the 21 A Bus it runs the entire length of Lake Street. Between the Mississippi River and Uptown it passes through 12 different neighborhoods. There is a ton of different ethnic communities that all have neighborhoods. They all have their little clusters of them all the length of the street. There are a bunch of Somali refugees and there is a huge Mexican community also.
Galleries start to be more dandified.
It's hard to generalize and then it ends up in Uptown which is kind of an upper class trendy shopping district. I am working with a photographer Wing Young Huie and he spent the 4 or 5 years in the communities touching Lake Street. He's taken around 400 rolls of films of all of these 12 communities touching Lake Street. There are 650 pictures all around Lake Street. They're capturing basically the everyday reality that coexists on Lake Street.
