Ok, I might get blasted for this but here it goes. I'm an african american who owns property in this area. The area sat and atrophied for years and years and now people want to complain when there are good restaurants, new retail, and new energy moving into the area. Gimme a break. If you are so bothered now, where was that righteous indignation when the neighborhoods were falling apart. If you want to preserve the rich history of the neighborhood then do so but to do that you have to get off the sidelines and do something. Spend some money. If you don't have it it pool your resources. I understand the frustration but the answer is to compete not to beotch and moan. Let the sniping begin...
