Broadway-Fillmore has lost a lot of buildings & homes over the last 20 years.
A 2004 study called the “Intensive Level Historic Resources Survey” was done of the Broadway-Fillmore area by the Clinton Brown Company. It assessed various historic buildings, landscapes and structures in the neighborhood. It is a valuable resource that I use regularly, but it is locked into 2004.
The Alive Project will do something similar. The goal is to create a online database of buildings in the neighborhood that will help monitor the condition and track the status of them in real time while making the info readily available via the internet.
As we have seen in the past, buildings fall off the radar screen and the next thing you know is they are being demolished after slipping past the point of know return. This will be a proactive way to get a good handle on the condition and status of buildings.
To make this project work, I will need your help. I don’t envision this becoming a lot of hard work, but it will require a group of people working on it. Any questions, please contact me.
It will help keep the neighborhood ALIVE!

This is a great idea. When I was in neighborhood last week, I was wondering what was going on with old spolka clothes on Broadway.
