The inner city in St Louis was likewise a home for the monied, powerful and connected.

Before I left, you could buy a 4 story 8 bedroom Victoran home in Lafayette Square for $8000. Sometimes less. Well, the old homes got so much attention by the fans of period architecture, that some were buying them up at market prices, and spending $500,000 and more to return them to their native splendor. By the time I left St Louis, Lafayette Square was a vital, very upscale community with a vibrant life, and tremendous economic and cultural holdings. Now on the National Historic Register. http://www.lafayettesquare.org When the area fell into disrepair, it fell into the hands of slumlords, who converted the homes into low rent flats of minimal standards of maintenance, and exploited those of limited means. Mostly a black community. Until its rennaisance. Now, it's an integrated community of significant wealth. It wasn't as popular, then, as it is today to throw the word 'racist' around at every opportunity and for every purpose, so though there was a lot of focus on the racial component, racism itself wasn't a part of the underpinnings of the area's history or culture. And that's the point that gets lost by those who can only call names and throw epithets....it's not a matter so much of race that brings communities to rust, as it is economics. There will always be those who have, and always be those who have not. Just as there will always be someone in every group who will aspire to power and influence...someone will always hunger to be king. That's not racial. That's the ambition of the human species. Glad you enjoyed the Chicago cuisine. But there's so much of it, how the hell do you walk? Peter, ya gotta watch out for us biker types. it was a little wet, but in all a great ride. I always liked Chicago. it's come a long way from the early 60's. lots of culture, great eateries, nice people. old family friends, out side of Cicero, the Parkinsons. one of those giant tomato farms out there. eleven hundred acres plus. got to visit from child hood. they really turned me on to the city back then. as I said, great place to spend some time. back to the subject at hand. back during my youth, Pitt and Carnegie- Tech, I worked summers at U.S.Steel and Westinghouse. this was before i realy got out, into the world. and the war. I worked with all types of people, which is a great way to start out in life. the one thing I noticed, was who came last. each people will gang up on the new guys. it could be Polish, German, English, whatever. whoever comes in to the country last will suffer the most. different people will gang up on the new guy. now, the black folk may not be new to the country, but they were new to the North. and back then they were the last. now it's Latino. and what do ya know, the blacks and the whites are screaming about the brown people. now, i can get along with anyone, even the devil himself; but I have trouble with the illegal's. I hope that doesn't make me racist. I don't believe it does. if you want to be here, do it right. get your visa, do the classes, become a citizen. pay your taxes, and learn to get along with your fellow Americans. I don't think that's too much to ask. but, please folks, don't plaster an entire race, for the sins of a few. Drifter... |

Cicero, huh? Then you were in a good place to pick up a little bit of SW Radio history. At 5th and Kostner is a building...it's a warehouse now...but the lazy H is still on the gable. It's the final House of Halligan, where Hallicrafters radios were born. back to the subject at hand. back during my youth, Pitt and Carnegie- Tech, I worked summers at U.S.Steel and Westinghouse. this was before i realy got out, into the world. and the war.

If you oppose, that's the brand you will carry. You're right. Come here legally, and the welcome mat is out. But come here illegally, and then have the bald faced audacity to tie up traffic protesting the prosecution of these criminals, and you're likely to find that you're not as welcome as you'd hope. We're not in the minority in these beliefs. But that's not politically correct thinking. Well, tough ****. |

Yesterday, I went to the Lowe's store, after first stopping off at the
Goodwill store, of course.I bought four steel wheels seven inches diameter with ball bearing hubs and rubber tires on the wheels, $6.28 each wheel.The hubs on the new wheels are not as thick as the hubs on those cheap no good plastic (those plastic wheels are no good even when they are new) worn out plastic wheels.So, this morning I went back to Lowe's (after first stopping off at the Goodwill store, of course) and I bought some flat washers for spacers for my new wheels, five flat washers for each wheel.Those shiny brand new ball bearings lawnmower wheels make all the difference in the World.Life is a Joy again. cuhulin |
