The book: Austin's Rosewood Neighborhood

It was really interesting to read the book about East Austin. From several pictures in the book, I could see how the East Austin looks like in the past and how it has changed. The book shows how the East Austin was developed and how the old things were renewal. I could know the community’s history, how people in the East Austin lived and what events were held. During the van tour, the wall painting and ceramic mosaic wall was impressive, and I was curious about those. It was really good that the book also had pictures and explanations of those wall arts in the East Austin. I could know that those wall paintings were related to restaurant business and music in the East Austin Community. It was also interesting that music is a large part of East Austin’s history and culture. It was interesting that the famous musicians whom I learned at the Jazz music class visited East Austin. I felt more comfortable and familiar about East Austin after I read the book.
