 An inside look at community developmentDec 14, 1998
I witnessed much of the transformation described in this book and it is remarkably accurate. This should serve as a guide for community organizers seeking to work in neglected neighborhoods. Too bad Peter Medoff is no longer with us.

An amazing story of a community working together to protect and maintain their neighborhood long forgotten by the city of Boston. Very inspiring.

Success story in community development, w/difficult oddsOct 19, 1998
A little too much detail. However, this is an inspiring success story about a community in very bad shape, that turned itself around totally, working "from the inside out". Well known in the field of community development, in my area.
