Huntington, WV
Highlawn is a neighborhood on the East side of Huntington. We are a bunch of latchkey kids that rarely eat dinner at a table with people in our own family. The parents who had regular nine-to-five’s fed many of their children’s friend as often as not. Highlawn is a neighborhood where history is more powerful than desire. You stick with what you know and dare not venture outside this sanctuary without friends. This is a place that seemed more safe as a youth running the streets than a teacher coming back to keep a promise. I owe this neighborhood my life for teaching me what is to be valued and what is to be cast aside.
Looking back, there were many dangers in this cozy corner of town that just did not seem to apply to locals.
