A local group called Glass House Collective is working hard to revitalize Glass Street. One of their initiatives is called "Rise Up Chattanooga," a community based public art project that invited everyone in the community to donate a ladder for the temporary sculpture. Trey loaded up our ladder in the van and helped us deliver it to the project during the "Better Block on Glass Street" celebration.
The artist and his assistant asked Trey to choose the spot on the growing ladder sculpture where he wanted our ladder installed. It was a wonderful community effort and we were pleased to have participated. We discussed with Trey how maybe by the time he is an adult, Glass Street will be as popular a destination as the Walnut Street Bridge, Frazier Avenue or Main Street. No small feat but if Rise Up Chattanooga is an indication of the potential, there is reason to hope it is possible.
