Booker T. Washington Terraces, known colloquially as "Da Bricks," was built in 1953 in East Austin and is one of the largest public housing projects in the city. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Booker T was known for rampant drug dealing and gang activity. In 2004, a man was shot in a drug-related incident right outside Maricela's bedroom window.
