South Swan Street – North Swan Street

In 1970, when they tore down the Hawk Street Viaduct, they proposed a bridge to connect South Swan Street to North Swan Street and Clinton Avenue. The city and state's declining finances along with the bottoming out of the neighborhood in Arbor Hill lead the project to be abandoned, but as you can see from the tax map, the state still owns these lands.

Crunchy and Woke

In my mind, crunchy people are the same as woke people. But apparently there is a difference, at least according to Meta AI.

β€œCrunchy” and β€œwoke” are two distinct terms that have gained popularity in different contexts.

β€œCrunchy” often refers to individuals who prioritize natural, organic, and sustainable living. They might be interested in activities like hiking, camping, or homesteading, and value self-sufficiency and environmentalism. Think of someone who enjoys granola, yoga, and essential oils.

On the other hand, β€œwoke” typically describes people who are socially conscious and aware of issues like racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression. They often advocate for social justice and equality, and might be involved in activism or advocacy work.

While there can be overlap between the two groups (e.g., someone who cares about environmental justice), they aren’t interchangeable terms. Crunchy tends to focus on lifestyle choices and personal wellness, whereas woke focuses on social and political awareness.
