00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:05.580
Okay, today is September 29th.
2
00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:07.440
We're at Art All Night in Mount
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:07.940
Pleasant.
4
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:09.640
Could you tell us your name?
5
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:11.640
Hi, I'm Valeria.
6
00:00:12.340 --> 00:00:14.160
Hi, and we're so glad you're our
7
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.600
first interview of the night.
8
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:17.960
Would you tell us a little bit
9
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.940
about your relationship to Mount
Pleasant?
10
00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:25.800
Okay, I'm from Colombia and I
moved to Mount Pleasant.
11
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.580
It was the first place that I have
ever lived since I came to the
12
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:30.080
U.S.
13
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.500
And I love it so much.
14
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:36.100
I think it's a great neighborhood.
15
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.720
I have made all my friends in the
16
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:40.220
neighborhood.
17
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.940
I have been in like different
18
00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:45.300
cities of the U.S.
19
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.380
But I haven't found anything like
20
00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:51.160
Mount Pleasant.
21
00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:53.400
Like I feel the warmth, I like to
22
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:56.100
walk and find the neighbors.
23
00:00:56.180 --> 00:00:57.540
Like Mount Pleasant is a
24
00:00:57.540 --> 00:00:58.040
community.
25
00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:01.320
You get to know, even when I bring
26
00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:07.660
friends to visit me and they get
surprised when we walk around and
27
00:01:07.660 --> 00:01:10.140
I know my neighbors like it's a
community.
28
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.040
Oh that's terrific.
29
00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:15.660
You put on the we're doing in the
30
00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:19.640
exercise outside the truck and you
put a note about your favorite
31
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:20.740
place in Mount Pleasant.
32
00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:21.880
Would you mind telling us about
33
00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:25.400
that?
Yes, I put that my favorite place
34
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.880
in Mount Pleasant is a house that
is located in Parrow.
35
00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:37.060
I put this house because it is so
colorful that it's a different
36
00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:38.420
house from the rest.
37
00:01:38.940 --> 00:01:41.180
And they always put really cool
38
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:45.360
decorations for Halloween, for the
cherry blossom season.
39
00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:49.200
Every season they put something
and I love it.
40
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:54.000
I love to walk by the house and
had that moment to stare at it and
41
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.140
look at the creations.
42
00:01:57.340 --> 00:01:59.860
And when a quick question how long
43
00:01:59.860 --> 00:02:03.600
have you been in the neighborhood
3 years 3 years and have you seen
44
00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:13.140
any changes since you've arrived?
Yes, when I arrived it was the end
45
00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:19.520
of pandemic so the neighborhood
was kind of like a little bit like
46
00:02:19.540 --> 00:02:23.300
closed like we didn't have all the
all the restaurants that we have
47
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:31.940
now open so yes more has more like
life because there are new
48
00:02:31.940 --> 00:02:39.520
restaurants or the stores are open
again so I got to see that
49
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.020
different.
50
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.260
Oh, that's great.
51
00:02:42.260 --> 00:02:45.360
And what would you like for the
future of the neighborhood?
52
00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:51.660
For the future of the
neighborhood, I don't know, maybe
53
00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:57.940
to like try to stay this way as a
community and have the offer for
54
00:02:57.940 --> 00:02:59.000
the different restaurants.
55
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:01.940
And I like a lot that is very
56
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.420
family friendly and I get to see
the kids.
57
00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:10.600
So maybe having like another
playground for kids to have like
58
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:14.520
more of the space for kids,
outdoor space for the kids.
59
00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:19.940
But just like keep working on
being good how it is right now.
60
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:22.820
Thank you so much for sharing, I
appreciate it.
61
00:03:22.820 --> 00:03:23.320
Okay.
