Lost Barrios of Indiana: “Block and Pennsy” of Indiana Harbor, Part II

Part two of this blog series examines the aftereffects of Urban Renewal Project No. 1 from 1964-1969.  The previous blog in this series examines the planning and start of this project from 1957-1963.

Lost Barrios of Indiana: “Block and Pennsy” of Indiana Harbor, Part I

The first acknowledgement of the Indiana Harbor barrio came in newsprint; The Lake County Times (now The Hammond Times) on July 10, 1923, labeled this area “little Mexico.” This nickname would be used continuously to describe Indiana Harbor throughout the decades. As this lakefront area grew, so did the approximately half-mile square known as Block and Pennsy. Short for Block and Pennsylvania Avenues; the north and south boundaries of this neigh…East Chicago · East ChicagoRead Article

It’s Eggcellent: National Egg Month

It’s National Egg Month. When prices are high like they’ve been this year, one of the most important things, in my opinion, in regards to eggs is their safe transport. It just so happens that the Mapes’ Safety Cushion Egg Flats were produced in my hometown, Griffith, Indiana. I find this to be most eggcellent. As a lover or eggs, I celebrate the wonders and diverse uses of the product. However, all eggs have to start somewhere, and that is with …Griffith, Indiana · GriffithRead Article

The Making of the Documentary, “Beyond El Barrio”

Before I put the pieces together about El Barrio, I knew of El Nopal Market and the Espinoza family. The market was a small Latino-owned grocery store that was operated by Feliciano “Felix” Espinoza located at 810 North Street.  After an introduction to the family, I conducted a group oral history interview with a few of his children in late 2019. Through them and from later reading a few transcripts from a 1990 Indianapolis-based oral history p…Indianapolis · IndianapolisRead Article

Nuts About A Legume! National Peanut Month

I LOVE peanut butter, I like peanuts. I grew up a typical 80s/90s kid consuming peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and marshmallow fluff (fluffernutter) sandwiches regularly. I always took enjoying peanuts for granted until my nephew was born with a severe peanut allergy which also became an allergy for my sister. While I forego my enjoyment of the treat when they’re going to be around, I still get to consume it from time to time. My siste…Terre Haute · Terre HauteRead Article
