Description:
Buddy Moore, former Park View resident, talks about his time living in the neighborhood. Born and raised in the Cardozo area, Buddy moved to Park View to raise his family. He reflects on the drug epidemic that hit in the neighborhood in the 1980s, and discusses forming an Orange Hat group to educate those in the neighborhood doing "negative things." He feels that this group made a difference in cutting down the violence in the neighborhood. Buddy talks about the "great positive" changes he's seen in Petworth/Park View regarding new businesses, redevelopment, and gentrification. To long time residents, he encourages them to "hang on" as the city government works on housing.
