L.A.N.D. (Lisbon Avenue Neighborhood Development)

Welcome to the Film 150: Multicultural America blog site! This semester, we will be working on a media archive for L.A.N.D. (Lisbon Avenue Neighborhood Development). First conceived in 1988, L.A.N.D. is a community development corporation that supports neighborhood revitalization through community-based programs and initiatives. L.A.N.D.'s current service area is from Vliet Street to North Street, 27th Street to 47th Street.


L.A.N.D.'s mission statement:

L.A.N.D. is a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization. Working in collaboration with residents, businesses and partners, L.A.N.D. furthers economic and community development.

L.A.N.D.'s area neighborhood vision statement:

Residents and businesses will flourish in economically diverse communities. Neighborhoods will be safe and clean. Housing for low to high-income residents will be of quality. Residents and business owners will be civically engaged in education and social development.

Throughout your service learning experience this semester, you will have an opportunity to learn more about L.A.N.D., its history, its neighborhoods, and future projects. Here is a list of L.A.N.D.'s current programs:

Home Source Center
Tool Loan
Washington Park Partner Program
Minor Home Repair Program
Community Organizing

Your orientation materials will help you learn more about these programs. For now, take a look at "Partnerships & Nature: Loving and Preserving Our Community", a short video detailing L.A.N.D.'s service learning project at the 38th Street School.



Also, check out the blog sites created by students in the Spring 2007, Film 150 class and their service learning experience at Walnut Way.

Hello everyone, I'm Patricia Sherman in Oklahoma USA right now. I would like to share with you my experience of borrowing USD $185,000.00 to clear my bank draft and start a new business. It all started when I lost my house and I took my stuff because of the bank policy and I met some bills and some personal needs. So I became very desperate and started looking for funds in every way. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine, Linda told me about a credit company firm, I was intrigued by the fraud, but I was intrigued by my situation and had no choice but to get advice from my friend about this company. contacting them really doubted me because of my past experience with online lenders, did you know that little? '' Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com This company has been very helpful to me and my colleague and today, thanks to this credit company, the proud owner of well-organized work and responsibilities, they smiled back at me. So if you really need to grow or start your own business, or if you really need to borrow money in any financial hardship, we recommend you find a financial development opportunity in your business today. {E-mail:} Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com ... online for credit not a victim of scam. Thank you.
