Title: Catherine Hargrove Interview, September 14, 2019
Date: September 14, 2019
Creator: Carmen Bolt; Catherine Hargrove
Description: Catherine Hargrove relocated to Petworth in the mid-1980s from Boston where she attended law school. She recalls it being incredibly family-oriented at the time she moved, but that the city did not maintain the urban landscape well. When asked about the change in the neighborhood overtime, Hargrove mentions that while still community-oriented, the neighborhood is largely gentrified. While this has resulted in greater municipal upkeep of the neighborhood, she notes several individuals that have been forced out of the community due to rising costs. She expresses that more conversations need to be held around the topic of gentrification and believes that individuals moving into new neighborhoods should make a point to learn the history and norms of the community that already exists.
