In 2013, the city of Philadelphia was faced with a challenge: many of the cities elementary, middle, and high schools were underenrolled and underperforming. This mini-series, consisting of two guided walking tours, encourages listeners to remember, honor, and memorialize the closed spaces with their bodies and minds. In this installment, Part I, Sanah and Maya guided you through West Philadelphia High School, its current status as luxury lofts, and what this means for its former students, now housed in a new building a few blocks away. We encourage you to visit the high school as you listen to the audio guides, to fully experience and immerse yourself in the podcast.
