    Replace Malcom X with Elijah Muhammad. Malcom X only told the truth, the guilt of that truth is what upset people. Not his fault. 400 years of systematic racism and cultural genocide, one guy lets everyone know he would rather be dead. How is that not a man to be proud of?

    I heard when you you turn 40 you just start forgetting everything and everyone. It's normal.

    I'm
  13. OTR, Price Hill, East Covington, West End, Avondale, Bond Hill, Moosewood and the projects on the hill in Covington (do not go here unless you live here) and of course Brick City aka Winton Terrace. Pretty much any neighborhood with the word "terrace" after it.
  14. i can't imagine the school opening and the city allowing the daytime tent city to keep going like it is.
  15. I know people are regularly talking about a $32000000 renovation of Washington Park. Is there a time line for this and where will the funding come from? Also don't know if this is the correct thread but is the drop inn being relocated?
  16. I assume it will mean they will start utility relocation and other engineering work. It is kind of hard to tell cause 60 isn't enough to finish even the first phase. This is exciting news though unconfirmed.
  17. Tear it down now. The worst thing you can do for someone is make them not be responsible for themselves. Have emergency shelters, of course. Also create anti-wharehousing laws and make it possible/easier for working people to become homeowners. I understand the current need for low income housing but it should only be temporary. Generations upon generations living in the same projects, that is societies fault and it has to stop for a free market to function.

    Welcome back.

    I am proud of the progress. I loosely count the whores, chronic loiterers, and what i perceive as drug offers around Findlay Market almost everyday. They are far from declining and as of very recently prostitution seems to be dramatically increasing. Even the police will tell you there are more whores on Mcmicken today then in the past five years. Why? i don't know.

    That is kind of funny. I just pasted it from my console that i had accidentally typed it into.

    unsafe for crime? More cocaine flows on the streets of this neighborhood than any other. I hate it just as much as anyone else. I'm not trying to be negative. Things have changed all over but in the past 2 weeks i've seen more whores in the neighborhood then in the 15 years I've been skateboarding around here. Economy maybe? Washington park is full o bums. Crackheads ya know. 500 to 0? it doesn't make sense. It is a silly statistic. There used to be a store on that corner, now there is an office? correct. so the police, police it now. You know they patrol, enforce the law. They jobs. And Republic is worse now. Those low level dealers used to be right on Vine. Where the heck do you think they went? They sure as hell didn't goto jail. Pleasant street, walk down Pleasant without getting offered Dog Food. Like i said the buildings on Vine Look great, you have two options for expensive furniture. Condo's look amazing. It no longer looks like Harlem in the 80's. The crime moved to where there are less people/development/police, that is all. I'm not complaining though. Price Hill got it much worse when they tore down Lincoln Court or Laurel or whatever those jects where named. Like it or not OTR is still very much an area of concentrated poverty and lawlessness. Is that changing, probably. I sure hope so. Not without the population going way up. The reality on the ground is much different when compared to the 500 to 0 stat.

    Pictures? If you look on myspace and facebook maybe you can easily find out who did it and track em down.

    Now all the drug traffic is on Republic, Race and Pleasant. Whores moved to Elm. Still a war zone over here. It's actually worse as far as crime is concerned. Dealers are closer to the addicts (the drop) and the police still pretty much do nothing. You think the loitering on Vine was bad in the 90's take a stroll around Washington park today.
