SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 009: Coyotes\, with Chris Mowry
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’ve spotted their stealthy presence during a quiet neighborhood walk\, heard tall tales of their wily ways\, or paused at the yip-yip-yipping from a pack\, you’re aware that coyotes are a surprising but not uncommon Atlanta resident. \nDr. Chris Mowry\, a Professor of Biology at Berry College\, has been conducting research on coyotes since 2002. He co-founded The Atlanta Coyote Project\, which consists of scientists devoted to learning more about coyotes living within the metro Atlanta area. Whether you’re captivated\, concerned\, or just plain curious when it comes to coyotes\, Atlanta Coyote Project strives to be a relevant and credible source of information and to provide strategies for peaceful human-coyote coexistence.

SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 008: Transportation\, with Eric Phillips
DESCRIPTION:“Little Little Five Points”\nAt times progress is messy\, and at others progress is sorting out that mess. In this installment of ‘Walks’\, we’re joined by neighbor and transportation aficionado Eric Phillips\, who will dive into the proposed improvements to the spaghetti junction affectionately known as “Little Little Five Points” (but cartographically known as the intersection of Walthall\, Arkwright\, Howell Drive\, and Flat Shoals). How do you improve a 6-way stop? Can you connect the Trolley Line Trail to the BeltLine? \nAs a member of the Cabbagetown/Reynoldstown Transportation Committee\, and with his experience monitoring and providing feedback on similar projects across Atlanta\, Eric provides unique insight into what it takes to improve such a tricky hub of traffic. Join us\, Thursday November 7th at 5:30pm. \nWe’ll step off promptly\, rain or shine\, so slip on some sturdy shoes\, leave the kids and pets at home\, and come deepen your map.

SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 007: 142 Stovall
DESCRIPTION:A House is a Time Machine\nNow: \nA man walks out onto the front porch of a yellow house on a Sunday morning. In the distance he hears voices\, growing closer. A group of runners turns the corner\, all bright chatter\, foot patter\, and heavy breathing. He waves\, as their voices swell\, then slowly fade. \nFifteen years before: \nSame front porch\, different Sunday. A woman walks out\, closes the front door softly\, as her roommates sleep in. In every third block of Reynoldstown stands a small church. One by one\, deacons in their long coats pass each other\, tip a hat. Each of them wants an hour to themselves\, in their own churches\, to turn on the lights\, sweep the floor\, soak up the quiet. The woman watches one of them come down the hill\, then lifts her coffee cup to him. He replies with a tip of his hat\, then passes along. \nFifteen years before that: \nA man this time\, a different one. Same front porch. This house is his home\, but also his art gallery\, and the night before was an opening night. Packed with friends and neighbors\, and a few famous faces. John Lewis was there. Samuel L. Jackson as well. The man looks up the street\, past the next corner\, and in the middle of Stovall stands a peacock. The peacock is kind of famous. It picks fights with buses. A blues singer wrote a song about it: \n\n“There’s a Peacock in Reynoldstown.” \n\nEvery house is a time machine. Some more than others. Across the years\, 142 Stovall St SE has been associated with Hughley Gallery\, the National Black Arts Festival\, Dashboard Co-op\, Reynoldstown Revitalization Corporation\, Vote with Dignity and 13 Cocktail Parties. The Reynoldstown Rangers started on its front porch. Museum of Reynoldstown was dreamed up in its kitchen. \nIn Reynoldstown\, the past is always present\, and so is the future. We know about those deacons\, that peacock\, because we sat on that very porch\, with that man and that woman who lived here before us. \nThey handed us the keys to the time machine. \nFor the Reynoldstown Rangers\, it’s our mission to pass along those keys. Please join us on Wednesday\, October 23\, for a very special edition of Walks with Resident Experts. John Gibson and John Bluhm\, just before they move to a house down the block\, welcome former inhabitants of 142\, Courtney Hammond (co-founder of Dashboard Co-op) and Reynoldstown’s own iconic community organizer Young Hughley Jr.. Together we’ll look at seven decades of neighborhood history\, through the windows of a little yellow bungalow. \nWe live among time machines. Take the keys. \nWalks With Resident Experts\, #007\, 142 Stovall Street\, with Young Hughley Jr.\, Courtney Hammond (remotely)\, John Bluhm\, and John Gibson\, and hosted by Chris Appleton\, will take place on Wednesday October 23\, from 6 to 8pm. \nThe capacity for this walk is greater than usual\, but can not accommodate pets or neighbors under 10 years old. \n*Technically a talk\, or even a visit\, but perhaps you’ll walk over. However you arrive\, expertise awaits.

SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 006: Foraging\, with Katherine Kennedy and Jessamine Starr
DESCRIPTION:THE WALK\nScuppernong and sumac grow here. \nBlackberries and mulberries and serviceberries grow here. \nChestnuts and walnuts\, figs and pecans. \nPersimmons\, plums\, pomegranates\, peaches\, pears\, and pawpaws. \nRight here in Reynoldstown. \n\nAnd it’s not just the bounty of fenced-off gardens. It’s the forager’s bounty\, growing up through sidewalk cracks; on vacant lots\, in medians\, and alleys; along the Beltline. \n\nJessamine Starr and Katherine Kennedy know this bounty well. Katherine is Executive Director of Concrete Jungle\, which delivers over 25\,000 pounds of freshly foraged food annually to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Jessamine created The Gathering Table\, our region’s leading showcase of refined foraging. \nThey each keep a map in their heads\, and a calendar near their hearts: \nWhere the scuppernong grows. \nWhen it ripens. \n\nLiving link to our wilder selves; vivid connection to our essential nature; moment of hope and nurture in many a food desert\, the art of foraging is alive and well in Reynoldstown. Join Jessamine and Katherine as they open our eyes to the abundance that is our common wealth. \nWWRE #006: Foraging \nSeptember 19 at 6pm \nStrictly limited to 12 people.

SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 005: Paint\, with Curt Jackson
DESCRIPTION:THE WALK\nWhat should you properly call that vividly spray-painted signature – \nIs it stylewriting or tagging? Could it be etching or a throw-up? Maybe it’s actually wildstyle. \nAnd – \nWhat’s the right term for its genre? Street art? Plain old graffiti? Is calling it ‘urban art’ kind of low-key racist? How does sanctioning (or lack of it) affect genre distinctions\, or the connoisseur’s regard? \nThen – \nWhile we’re talking public art\, where do branches like murals and busking and wheat paste fit in? \nArt. \nIt is a lot. \nYet here in Reynoldstown\, we are living within and alongside a complex\, internationally known artistic ecosystem. Critiqued\, admired\, and copied around the world\, our local fences\, tunnel\, and walls reward serious consideration. The deeper you dive\, the further it goes. \nWWRE 005 will help you learn the lingo and spy the telling details as Curt Jackson\, the creator of the Krog Codex\, walks us through the subtleties of ‘Paint.’ Just how far-reaching is this walk? Well\, for the first time ever\, we’ll venture beyond our neighborhood’s limits\, by one full block\, all the way down to the Krog Tunnel. So I guess we can call this stroll a… \nWide Ranger. \nWWRE 005 ‘Paint’ is on June 19\, at 6pm\, and lasts 90 minutes.

SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 004: Placemaking\, Teri Nye and Annie Appleton
DESCRIPTION:THE WALK\nNot so many years ago\, Lang-Carson Park seemed pretty shabby. Remember the rotten wooden ramp? Or how completely invisible it felt\, hidden behind an overgrown truck lot? Look at it now\, with scores of users\, most daylight hours. \nHow does a change like that take place? \nBehind any such transformation are years of effort\, countless conversations\, constituents to consider\, and dollars to raise. Our walk traces the path from dream to consensus to plan to reality. \nHow much does a swingset cost? Where does stormwater go? Who picks up the trash? Who picks up the bill? What role do parks and other civic spaces play in our lives? \nAnnie and Teri have all the answers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE EXPERTS\nAnnie Appleton has lived in Reynoldstown for eight years\, and is the original force behind Friends of Lang-Carson Park. A gifted reading teacher\, curriculum designer\, and coach for new teachers\, Annie now works as a foundation program director. She lives just steps from the park\, with her husband Chris and two young children.\nTeri Nye is a landscape architect for the National Park service. Her community-driven and ecologically sensitive approach was honed across seven years with Atlanta’s Park Pride. A trained botanist\, and gifted botanical illustrator\, Teri tends her own native garden right here in Reynoldstown.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT PEOPLE SAY\n‘Two kinds of vision came together when Annie met Teri\, and Reynoldstown is better for it. Together they can move mountains – or at least good-sized hills.’

SUMMARY:Walks with Resident Experts 003: Trains\, with Angel Poventud
DESCRIPTION:THE WALK\nGiant metal boxes floating past. Epic rattles and thuds. Inexplicable sudden vacancies. Hulsey Yard makes for an occasionally unsettling yet nearly invisible neighbor. Longtime Reynoldstonians still call it ‘the piggyback yard\,’ from the Yard’s core function: stacking up shipping containers to ride or to rest piggyback- style. But it’s also fair to say that without Hulsey and its predecessors\, Reynoldstown would exist in nothing like our current form. A century and a half ago\, the core of our community sprung up around this junction of tracks\, switches\, and sidings. Today we’re still shaped by it. And tomorrow? Maybe its most interesting chapter yet. Peek behind the chain link curtain\, at a world (and a law) unto itself. \n\nTHE EXPERT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow does Angel Poventud roll? Over the last twenty years\, for a major railroad which shall remain nameless\, as a Freight Train Engineer. As a bike advocate\, cheerleading the hundreds of bikers who make up the monthly Critical Mass. As one of the earliest and most visible Beltline Boosters\, leading monthly tours from way back in 2009. As a beloved and radical faerie\, rollerblading in his green dress through countless Pride events. And lately\, as the best product spokesperson the all-electric Rivian Trucks ever had. Angel Poventud is forward momentum; riding along with him is a blast. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT PEOPLE SAY\n“Angel is simply iconic. Could you make him up? Good news\, Atlanta: we don’t have to. \nCan you slow his roll? Don’t even try.”

SUMMARY:Walks with Resident Experts 002: Spring\, with Cooper Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:THE WALK\n‘Spring is sprung\, The grass is riz. I wonder where The birdies iz.’ \n– Anonymous \nWhen we grew our own food\, when daylight was the only light we had\, our sense of spring was sharper. Our lives depended on our awareness of the seasons\, and none brought greater joy than spring. Smell of the soil. Length of the days. Now\, as modern urban dwellers\, what does spring even mean? The season of washing pollen off our cars? Cardigans? Claritin? \nAnd yet — \nReynoldstown has its own bunnies and buds\, birds and bees. Miracles are afoot. Pulsing through the sidewalk cracks\, the vernal insists upon itself. The signs are all around. \nWe just need reminding. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE EXPERT\nAs a lead gardener at Atlanta’s iconic Oakland Cemetery\, and the creator/curator of their wildly popular ‘Ilumine’ series\, Cooper Sanchez artfully shapes the natural world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA native Georgian\, Cooper trained (and still works) as a visual artist. His recent documentary film ‘The Well-Placed Weed\,’ about his mentor\, legendary Atlanta plantsman Ryan Gainey\, found acclaim at film festivals and on public broadcasting. He is also the garden designer for Decatur’s spectacular Cator Woolford Estate. Whether wielding a camera\, paintbrush\, or shovel\, Cooper brings a fine eye and a refined sense of the natural world to his every pursuit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT PEOPLE SAY\n‘Want to love nature more? See it through Cooper’s finely-tuned eye. He makes garden spaces sing\, and captures their fleeting beauty in paintings that glow.’

SUMMARY:Walks With Resident Experts 001: The Built Environment\, Christopher Leerssen
DESCRIPTION:THE WALK\n‘We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.’ \n– Winston Churchill \nOur built environment results from hundreds of strictures\, laws\, aspirations\, common practices\, and complicated systems. At the deepest level\, these all express a set of values\, a system of beliefs made three-dimensional. Everyone deserves sunlight. Sidewalks matter. Moving through the city should be safe. From the radius of a curb and the depth of a setback\, to door heights and tree canopy\, this ‘real-world matrix’ is hiding in plain sight. \nHowever: \nOver time\, our shared beliefs shift. They come into conflict. They’re skewed by economics. Within just a few short blocks\, Christopher tells a complex story – of what we’ve built\, and of who we are. \n\n\n\n\n\nTHE EXPERT\nA Reynoldstonian for over two decades\, a gifted architect and prolific builder\, Christopher Leerssen has also headed up the neighborhood zoning committee\, and served many terms on the RCIL Board. His two small-scale developments – Mattie Branch and R-town Lane – are models of sensitive and attuned intervention. Christopher lives right here in Reynoldstown\, amidst dozens of homes he’s built\, renovated\, and/or designed\, and where he and his wife Christina have raised three proud young Reynoldstonians. From zoning and building codes\, to infrastructure and architecture\, he knows Reynoldstown up one side and down the other. \n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT PEOPLE SAY\n“If every neighborhood had a builder/neighbor as thoughtful and humane as Christopher\, the world would be a better place.”
