You may not be able to eat supper on Monday night, but you’ll have a great midnight snack. Purdue can’t beat UConn.
UConn may be the best coached college team I’ve seen in a long time. And to think Danny Hurley and Archie Miller were on the same trajectory when Archie was at Dayton and Hurley at Rhode Island, with Archie considered the more sure thing. Some things just don’t make sense. It would’ve been nice watching IU going for back to back instead of UConn.
Neighborhoods don’t have ethnicities. As far as a community with majority black residents, I would if it was a nice neighborhood.
What neighborhood do you live in? Must be nice.Most white folks move to the suburbs
Actually they are pretty good. There some rough sections, but that is because of how drainage has to be handled. This hood is literally elevation 1' and flat, so it's complicated at high tide.
I live in Chicago. Lived on the West Side until last summer.
I've never seen one of these "black people" or "black neighborhoods" you speak of yet, but I am hoping like heck I get to see one soon.
If you live in Chicago, I would advise you not to go in too far. I hope you do not live near Englewood.
What does "go in too far" mean? I live downtown.
As my lady likes to say. "Am I in yet?"
I live in what would be considered the burbs, even thought it's a Charlotte address.
I have quite a few black neighbors. We're all living that whitebread life!
He is now running for US Congress, I do not know what district. Must of had left over funds from his Mayor run.
WD, appreciate your post.
The neighborhood which I am currently living has large homes which when built 100 years ago were at the edge of town.
The neighborhood has gone from white to black, and now from black to white. I bought the home from one of white imvestors who was unhappy with my recommendation to purchase the home in a mostly black neighood. I loved the home after many repairs and became friends with both my older black and younger white neighbors.
To make a long story short, the white inhabitants have always made considerable profits by owning homes in my neighborhood while the black owners have been lucky to break even.
Some would argue the black owners failed to maintain the old and large homes. Therefore they deserved what they didn't get. Truth be known, they did the best they could with their income.
School choice helps the character that Wildog is playing. With the caveat that it has to be done properly.
1. Rigorous curriculum
2. Accountability
Then move along from there
You live in the south no doubt Willdog. Red clay dirt is common. Out of IU in the early 80’s I lived west of Hotlanta about an hour. Growing up in Indiana I had never seen red clay before. I was used to rich black dirt that came out of your clothes when it got on them. That red Georgia clay did not. Southwest Florida has neither. Just rip rock and sand. Don’t know how anything grows in this crap but it does.

Did you ever go to that bar that was on Ogden which had a skeleton on a motorcycle? I would take Ogden into Chicago from our apartment in Stickney if the Ike or Stevenson was too busy.
Tennesee, my father is from Mississippi My grandfather was a sharecropper. He eventually bought the land.
Got some folks I used to work with and for who retired to TN. Not warm enough for me in the winter. Wanted to go where the sun always shines. My grandfather who died before I was born was a farmer as was everyone on my dad’s side. Your dad stay put in Mississippi?
NO swman, he was part of the black migration up north to try to get better jobs. Down south they were not hiring and the fields did not pay a lot.
