Community Stimulation

For this topic of Erie vs Westcott I'm kind of interested in the aspect of the effects of these two places on the local communities. While doing some research there was really nothing to be found about Erie Blvd having any kind of effect on community. All that i found when i searched for it was different companies and businesses localed on Erie blvd. Each has their own chain webpage with a little link on directions to their Erie location.

When researching Westcott the first hit I got was actually the Westcott Community Center. The Westcott Community Center organizes and hosts a number of different youth programs and concerts for the community. They also offer job openings and it can be rented for use by many different organizations. They also contribute to the Westcott Street Cultural Fair which is another thing that immediately came up when i search Westcott. This is a one day Fair to celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of the Westcott area. They block off the street from cars and set up a lot of different stages to showcase different parts of the community. People come and sell their homemade crafts and other goods, while performers come and showcase their work. Anyone in the community can volunteer to help plan or run the event. This fair is an indication that a sense of community thrives on Westcott Street.
