    Join Scribe for a celebration of eight new short documentary videos, co-produced by Scribe Video Center and community groups from Philadelphia and Coatesville. Since they began working last summer, seven groups in Philadelphia and one in Coatesville have explored area archives, interviewed community elders, and edited their unique neighborhood histories into 8-minute videos—producing the latest documentaries in a growing Precious Places series. While these rich histories offer a powerful retrospective of some quickly changing communities, they also provide critical insight into the social forces that continue to shape the neighborhoods around us. Featuring: "El Centro De Oro", "Engine 11", "First Presbyterian Church", "Girard Estate", "Passtown Baptist Church" and the "Hayti Community", "Southwest Belmont Community Association Building", "Sydney King School of Dance", "Wynnefield Neighborhood".
