Vacant lots and boarded-up buildings have come to represent loss and despair in the town of Maywood, but the vacant lot owned by Stairway of the Stars is a symbol of hope for residents to rebuild their community.
“We actually anchor the business in north Maywood. But there are no businesses; we would like to see ourselves actually anchor businesses. This really paints a sad picture but we’ve always hoped to be part of a great change, when Maywood’s able to build this community back up—we’ll still be the anchor,” said Stairway founder and owner Lois Baumann.
