Houston s Third Ward is known as the center of the city s African American community, but for residents, it s much more than that.
Their neighborhood of culture, love and memories is now being overtaken by gentrification, residents say.
Tenants of Barbee Street Apartments, a 16-unit apartment complex at 2210 and 2216 Barbee Street, received a Notice to Vacate last Monday informing them they had until Feb. 10 to move out, as reported by Houston Chronicle s Anna Bauman. At that time, the new owner is set to begin renovations and will cut off all utilities.
