I wish to thank the residents of the Lower East Side who participated in the project. When I approached them, I was a perfect stranger, and yet they chose to share with me their memories, histories, dreams, and imaginings. I deeply hope that the project does justice to their experiences and recollections, and allows us to have a more meaningful, connected, and richly textured sense of place.
