They Walk the Line

Walk along Line Street, and it's clear that it's a neighborhood in transition, shifting from modest housing to expensive lofts. But it’s more than housing: It's evolving from African-American families with years in the neighborhood to predominantly white college students and young professionals. While many welcome the improvements, they fear that the old community will be lost. Longtime Line Street resident Robert Burnell sees new neighbors averting their eyes, staring at their cellphone screens. “When people become invisible,” he says, “there is no communication.” That's why photographer Jack Alterman and artist and Line Street resident Lain Healey are racing to document the East Side—they want to capture it before it's gone.
