On October 12 @ 7pm, Julia Christensen will present findings from her ongoing project, How Communities are Reusing the Big Box. Julia recently wrapped up a three month research expedition all over the United States, which led her to approximately 18 renovated big box buildings. She saw churches, schools, museums, go-kart tracks and more, all in renovated K-Marts, Wal-Marts, etc. During the presentation she will share photos, stories, and artifacts from her trek across the country, discovering how communities are dealing with abandoned superstore buildings. Admission is free and open to the public.
