Inspiration
For my banner, I wanted to really research the history of South Street and the different eras, people, and businesses that made it iconic from the 50’s until now. From theater, to music, to food and culture, South Street’s history is incredibly rich, exciting, complex, and ever evolving. I hope my banner shows the past, present, and future of South Street.
