Your response: My community is made up of people who have lived in this area for many years. I am 96 years old and feel that the best socializing is done in the church and at family gatherings. A pool was recently installed at the The Lunetta Moore Center and we hope this will be a safe recreational resource for our families. Presently, we have a community that is on its way to being revitalized. Many properties had been neglected, and now the city is working on a restoration plan for all of the run down houses. It will be good to see our community looking like it used to.
