"Things are happening in this town because of PA that wouldn't be happening otherwise. It's a valuable program.
We are trying to change people's perspective about what it means to live in a (historic) inner-ring suburban community. We face a lot of the same challenges as the "big city" but have none of the resources. Happily, we also have amazing architecture, rich social history, great restaurants, unique shopping... it's just on a smaller, friendlier scale. We need to let the rest of the world know that we're here, and that you'll love it. We couldn't do it without Preserve America dollars. Our community has invested in its heritage, and Preserve America has invested in promoting our story. I see visitors - and residents too! - spending dollars in our town each time they visit."
