Local heroes and Mexican American businesses from years past who all contributed to preserve what’s left of East Austin.

I recommend a Wall of Fame that can recognize everyone or a Walk of Fame on the sidewalk, a brick with individuals name that can be viewed at our Pan Am site. This way we can leave a Historical mark and have Palm School as our museum. in our East Austin BARRIO so the CITY OF AUSTIN won’t forget who was here first

Let’s leave the park the way it’s known for PAN AM HILLSIDE. PLEASE participate in the virtual and in person meetings below. What’s important to me is the beautiful happy memories to leave our youth of the families and people who cared and loved East Austin.
