What's the difference between a group of houses and a real
community? Author Lola L. Lucas explores this question in "At Home
in the Park: Loving a Neighborhood Back to Life."
Lucas chronicles the rebirth of Enos Park, a section of
Springfield, Illinois, just north of the Abraham Lincoln
Presidential Library and Museum. Like many cities, the area went
through a period of urban decay before rebounding. The Enos Park
Neighborhood Improvement Association (EPNIA) was largely
responsible for this change.
Lucas's columns about Enos Park have appeared in the "EPNIA
Banner" since 1992. With wisdom and wry humor, she shows why it's
worth the effort to reweave a neighborhood's social fabric in order
for residents to once again enjoy their homes. Lucas writes about
community policing, ice cream socials, neighborhood patrols, and
evening strolls on tree-lined sidewalks. Through the efforts of the
EPNIA, the citizens of Enos Park reclaimed their streets and loved
their neighborhood back to life.
