over here and saw it and it was big enough for the two of us, you

know, we each got a lot and a half. He had this tract...No, it was

an aunt she wanted it too but then she decided she wasn't going to

bother anymore so my sister and I bought the three lots and it was

big enough for us.

 (Ms. Wanza): Okay, what was the neighborhood like in the new

location compared to the neighborhood from which you moved?

 (Mrs. Jennings): Well I liked Overtown because I knew

everybody. I grew up over there but when we wanted to expand our

family and get something better, we found the people okay because

in front of us there was a nice...they were renters also but they

were nice and then James E. Scott had something right in front of

us, so everybody seemed to be okay.

 (Ms. Wanza): The next set of questions are going to be

regarding public housing. I know you said that you really are not

too familiar with it but when did you first hear about the building

of public housing?

 (Mrs. Jennings): The ones-that...in Overtown, that's the ones

you're talking about?

 (Ms. Wanza): Yes, no not Liberty City, Overtown.

 (Mrs. Jennings): Well, my understanding was until right now,

I thought those people were able to buy those apartments that they

were building for them because it looked like they said it was

Urban Renewal or something like that. They would be able to buy it

but now I understand it's a project owned by the government. So I

have very little knowledge of that.
