Maudean remembers the community of Southside being close-knit. Everybody was friendly, and lots of the families intermarried. Food brought people together. These days, her family gets together at least once a month. “It is a big necessity because we like to eat, and I like to cook,” she says. Maudean has seen the neighborhood go through many changes and is proud that Southside’s been around as long as it has. She provided recipes from her mother, Josephine, her grandmother and herself.
