The Language of Letting Go

Got my decades long collection of @vanityfair, my Christian based book of daily meditations and my most trusted @lucchese boots. I am ready to roll!

I am also linking to the book. It is one my therapist recommended to me. On a personal note, if you have experienced any level of co-dependency in your own life, I highly recommend this one as a book to help you feel good and provide you with support in the process of self-care and recovery.

Back To School

The location of these photos is Morgan School, constructed in 1925 to serve as an elementary school for the African-American community of the Cherry neighborhood. Located in the center of the neighborhood, the school is sited on a corner lot across from Morgan Park, around which the commercial and institutional activities of the community are oriented. Morgan School serves as an architectural and institutional focal point of this model planned community.

Currently, the neighborhood school sits abandoned in one of the city's oldest black neighborhoods. The neighborhood has increasingly over time given way to development, completely changing the architecturally historical significance of it. For the last several decades CMS has owned the building which has played host to a number of smaller specialty schools throughout those years. The most recent news report I could source, a story produced by @wbtv_news about a year ago, shared that for years the neighborhood association has wanted to purchase the building more specifically as a community learning resource center for Cherry. I do not know the current status of the Morgan School building. More than ever, and as time goes on, our city needs historic preservation. As for me and my ensemble, head on over to JT Posh for all your Back To School fashion needs!
