SJ Magazine - October 2009
Where most people see trash-strewn vacant lots, Wilbert Mitchell envisions a garden. Where many of us see the ravages of forgotten industry, he pictures a new city emerging. He sees new uses for old buildings and a vibrant waterfront where a prison stands today. And while many good people have vision, Mitchell has something more. He can make things happen.

That changed with the arrival of more than 100 volunteers from corporate and nonprofit groups who gave the former popular restaurant a makeover - and a new purpose.
