Neighbor of the Month: Luis Gonzalez

August 19, 2019 | Department of Neighborhood Engagement

Congratulations to our August Neighbor of the Month, Luis Gonzalez! Luis, of the first block of Chester Street, has been a long-time resident of the neighborhood and everyone knows him. He has lived on the block for 40 years with his wife Mary Jo. His 93 year old mom lives around the corner, as well as his grandson. Luis maintains a community garden in the community on a lot he owns and encourages neighbors to plant garden beds and to harvest fresh foods. He is always available to lend a helping hand to those in need, to share a story or a laugh, and encourage everyone he meets. He is an incredible neighbor and citizen.
