Donna Hodgins, 64, right, and Abijah Hodgins-James, 8, pose for a portrait in their home on South Plymouth Ave., in Rochester, N.Y., on Feb. 4, 2022. Donna has lived in the same house located in the Plymouth-Exchange area neighborhood, or PLEX, for over 55 years and has seen the neighborhood change drastically over the years. “When I was a child though, it was just, it was a good neighborhood,” said Donna. “...You could hear the laughter and the joy. When springtime came, you knew it was springtime because that’s all you heard, were children…And there’s just something nurturing about having those babies, those voices, in the air. You have nothing now. It’s dead silence. The death of a community.”
