“The hood is like me—lots of warts, pimples and a rough exterior with a slight hint of danger. But if one cares to look—a place of complexities. Danger and excitement abound, but (an) oasis of love and warmth are here. Neighbour helping neighbour, acts of charity and kindness are everywhere. All one has to do is look.”

Peter Gojevic, Storytellers from the Downtown Eastside presented by the DTES Neighbourhood House
at the Japanese Hall, Oct. 25, 2008
