... about that.
3:13
Yeah.
3:13
People, um, you know, are always referring to that area by different names, you know, basically between, uh, I-75 and Woodward, um, on the boulevard.
3:24
You've got Milwaukee Junction, which is south of the boulevard.
3:28
You have the North End, which is north of the boulevard, and that's where the Hourani building is.
3:33
And then of course, New Center is sort of the general name for that whole area where the Fisher Building is.
3:40
And so all three of those areas have seen a lot of development, I think a lot more population density over the last several years.

2:39
And so all three of those areas have seen a lot of development, I think a lot more population density over the last several years.
2:48
The Schmitz, of course, is located right near the Hourani building, uh, on, on Oakland Avenue in the North End, so we're already familiar with the, with the area.
7:51
Mm-hmm.
14:52
Yeah.
14:53
And so I felt like I needed to just get out of the bubble I had been in.
14:59
So I, I, I didn't live in Port-au-Prince.
15:01
I spent time in Port-au-Prince, but I lived in the Central Plateau, um, in a, outside of a, a city called Hinche.
15:09
And I lived with a very austere, uh, group of monks, basically, the Little Brothers of the Incarnation.
15:15
So, um, it was a pretty austere, kind of monastic lifestyle.
15:18
But then I would ride my bike into town about four miles every day and spend a lot of time with, um, orphans.
