Quote of the Day Last Night

Why does the Ghetto need improving???? Stop it; there is a difference between not wanting long time residents and business to be forced out and accepting a lower standard of living as if it is a badge of honor. Why should we expect and accept garbage flying thru the air, swirling on the streets, landing in trees and the fronts of homes three blocks away? I don’t believe I deserve higher priced, lower quality food and products; expired goods on the shelfs and items covered in a thick coat of dust. I wouldn’t mind a few festive lights and pretty store fronts. It does make shopping more enjoyable. Why can’t we ever realize that we have to take care of what we have before someone else recognizes the value and takes it away from us? Then everyone starts screaming it’s mine give it back. Too late. The “ghetto” is only the “ghetto” when people stop caring.
