Inventory #3

This inventory took place two days after the Lawrence City Commission approved developer's proposal to build a Marriott hotel right across the alley from the dumpster. The potential of the hotel being built was one of the reasons I began Give Take Give. My concern was and is that initial construction and long term imposition of the building will dramatically change the use of the alley adjacent to the dumpster by impeding easy access to the exchange and permanently damaging the social environment that has developed there.
