Interview Participant: Mike Gipple, Community Coordinator, Penn Central Mall

**Edited for length and clarity

“I think that what makes our community special is our ability to work together, and more importantly, to see some natural obstacles as opportunities.

Penn Central Mall basically becomes our downtown in the winter.

We move our beloved community events from the downtown around the bandstand to the mall in the inclement weather.

We really understand the importance of being able to work together.”
