"Bayview is 50 years old," said Alexis London, the foundation's executive director. "It has been for 50 years a center of really quiet promise," noted Berryman Agard.
"This is an area of the city that used to be originally Ho-Chunk land, and then it became later on land that was settled by waves of immigrants coming into Madison — Albanians, Italians, Jewish people, African Americans.
"Bayview has always been culturally diverse," observed Xong Vang. "Language might be a barrier, but it doesn't stop the residents engaging and talking to one another and just having that sense of community."

Madison is preparing for a major redevelopment of roughly 340 dated and deteriorating housing units for low-income, elderly and disabled residents on a big piece of “the Triangle” Downtown.
The City’s Community Development Authority is issuing a “Request for Qualifications” for a development partner to engage residents, analyze funding opportunities and forge a vision for the CDA’s piece of the Triangle.
The move has residents both excited and wary, despite CDA assurances that no one will lose housing as a result of the effort, which may involve renovation, demolition and new construction, or both.
The roughly 26-acre Triangle bounded by South Park and Regent streets and West Washington Avenue was once the core of the low-income, multiethnic Greenbush neighborhood razed amid national urban renewal efforts in the 1960s.
