Title A name given to the resource New Deal Sites Place-Based Stories Use this item type for your second skill assignment, in which you will document New Deal-era sites through image, sound, and text. Date Include the date of your project here. October 15th, 2019 Format Describe the format of the file(s) included in this item. There is a photo of the sewers, a photo of the surrounding area, text of "RESERVED PARKING TOWING ENFORCED All Others will be Towed at Owners Cost & Risk All Vehicles Towed Between 11pm-6am Towed Call 703-385-7924" and an audio recording of the cars driving by on Main Street. Narrative Use this field to attach your narrative about the site. The bus took me 4 minutes, I took iPhone photos and audio in 11, and I got back on the bus and back to campus in 15. But, I really did have a significant impact. I went to the sewers in Fairfax. But, of course, as I’m sure everyone’s heard, there’s nothing there. However, I think that tells the better story. There’s lots of locally owned businesses surrounding it, cars drive by on Main Street, people are going to get dinner and this landmark that blends right into the infrastructure. These sewers are visible but don’t really look like anything special. It really said a lot about how we see history and choose to build over it but also this hidden beauty that there’s a lot of history around us that we might never explore. And, one that I can see in minutes. I had access to a bus, my phone died but I had a portable charger, and I used my phone to document it. Accessibility and easy documentation has certainly changed since the 1930s. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
