La Casa Chica

Meet a person who is uncovering a local world of hidden treasures. Her name is Allison … She invites us to see the treasures of her neighborhood through the eyes of children. They are not interested in what is missing, they only see the gifts.

In her walks she introduces us to the everyday people that are the backbone of our community. They do not leap tall buildings, or advocate for interests, they do something more important.

Read her blog with pleasure http://la-casa-chica.blogspot.com/
