Does anybody here remember when this areas was a predominantly white, blue-collar, neighborhood? It really wasn't that long ago.


No, I don't remember the 1950's.

In the 80s my street I lived on was mostly white. Ride my bike everywhere or walked everywhere. My parents not the least bit worried about us kids roaming the neighborhood with our friends during the day during summers.

ETA: you came home for lunch, kool aid breaks and your butt better be inside when the street lights came on at night.

The last of the white folks checked out of that area in the mid-80's.
