Sixth Street between C & D was renamed Jimmy Carter Way yesterday, with a lot of hoopla from resdidents, local pols, & Habitat for Humanity reps. Mascot Flats, where my friend Ann lives, was the Carters first HfH project, back in 1984. It was inspiring to see so many people passionate about community and affordable housing. And inspiring to remember a president who had the good of the country close to his heart. The people who spoke were Latino, Asian, black, white, Jewish, Evangelical, gay.... Yay for the truly diverse East Village.
