Seeing all the abandoned and foreclosed houses in the city just amazes me. It used to be a thriving, strong community that I was proud to say I was from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298507768594785517.post-50649532588299083362012-04-04T10:45:35.349-04:002012-04-04T10:45:35.349-04:00Excellent work.Excellent work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298507768594785517.post-41549204800571048012012-04-02T10:33:50.310-04:002012-04-02T10:33:50.310-04:00Just want to say I admire you as a writer.

As soon as a few black families moved in, the for sale signs went up.What I don't understand is why he went along with being stripped of his title and then tried to redeem himself by going to the next meeting in a hoodie and saying " I just have two words, Trayvon Martin ".
