Status of my hood,December 12, 2007:

Around the corner from me three large multi story brick vancant buildings have been gutted. Word from one of the area businessmen is that a developer is going to turn them into condos.

Down the street--the vacant school building has been purchased by a local University--probably for apartment buildings or condos.

Vacant, fire damaged house on the block--undergoing major renovations.

Soon we'll wonder where all the hos and dope went--they'll be in another hood, hastening the process of Urban Renewal--

@Li-Li
And, chrishayden, has nerve enough to chide Yvette everything time she provides us with links to Public Radio events - which are at least interesting.

Chris, I often wonder if you're making all this shite up for our amusement. Your 'hood sounds like a "developing nation". That's PC talk for third world, underdeveloped country.

(That's precisely what every inner city neighborhood in this country is--and always has been.

Have you ever read "Gangs of New York"? New York City in the 1840's and 50's (when the Irish and WASPS dominated) makes Darfur look like Disneyland.

Jeeze, I thought the inner cities were populated by poor black defenseless victims of Bill Cosby's cruel criticism and white America's ongoing racism, - helpless people who were decent but deprived, direly in need of chrishayden's excuse-making compassion.
