- 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.

- Catherine Hargrove Interview, September 14, 2019

- 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.
