Stop 2: Growing Up in Auraria

1027 9th Street was once filled with the voices of children, shared meals, and the rhythms of working-class life. This stop features Gloria Gallegos, who recounts growing up here with her single mother and siblings after arriving from New Mexico in the late 1950s, finding family in the neighbors who surrounded them.
