ReplyDelete2. What I like most about Jefferson Street is that the people and their businesses truly dedicate their careers to helping college students and the community.
3. What I like least about Jefferson Street is its setting such as the streets and traffic. Jefferson Street just needs a bit of a makeover so it can attract more people. If Jefferson Street continues to look unsafe the businesses will not get in return what they give which is support.

1. The street of Jefferson is a great street. I feel this street needs a little expansion to it. I feel that it needs to be more decorative. This street is very historical. Many African Americans owns stores on this street. Many of them have story to tell. They also support us college students.
ReplyDelete2. What I like about Jefferson is that they support us. They give us the time of day. They love to see college students, because the fact that we are doing something with our life. Otherwise, I like the stores and the food. Also the history that was told to us.
3. What I like least is the traffic. I feel that a little expansion of the street wouldn’t hurt. Our streets need to be a little wider. Also the way it looks. It looks as if someone can get in an accident or get hurt really bad. It’s very unsafe.

ReplyDelete2. The best part of Jefferson Street that I like is that people who own businesses understand that we are college students and they are willing to work with us money wise. Also they care about their community and are willing to work to fix it up and make it a better place (I learned this from going on the tour because I have never been anyplace on Jefferson Street besides College Cribs and the book store).
