ARTERIAL AMERICA: Dispatch from Angola Thumbnail

ARTERIAL AMERICA: Dispatch from Angola

In mid-February, John F. Cline set off on foot from New Orleans bound for Chicago for a project he's dubbed "Arterial America." He will be following the historic routes of the Mississippi Valley that facilitated last century's "Great Migration." Traveling by foot, towboat, and train, Cline will provide photos, recordings, and observations from his journey, including a series of exclusive dispatches for the Oxford American.

Then, in the summer of 2006, a developer scooped up a parking lot catty-corner from the Renaissance and began construction on new, upscale condominiums.
