With all the rent moratoriums going on, it’s going to be a long, hot summer if you know what I mean.
nudge nudge, wink wink.
Lots of “electrical fires” soon to crop up.

“Someone testing the limits of the fire dept?”

Practicing for summer. Although I don’t know how “prime” a target Gary, Indiana, is anymore. Besides general chaos, that is.

The fire department said all of the structures appear to be abandoned.

Sounds like Urban Renewal was needed and used.

“Whenever we were traveling SE from Wisconsin, I remember my Dad & Grandpa purposefully AVOIDING Gary, Indiana when driving - and that was in the 1960’s!”

We lived in Cicero in 1961/62, and Gary was a no go for white people then.

Agreed. I was preparing to post the song but you, with your agile mind were way ahead of me. As always.

Demographics....

Hey, that’s the problem right there. No Asian Americans live there. No Latinos. Systemic racism.

put out multiple suspicious fires

The fires became suspicious and were worried. The people were fine. Fires should take tranquilizers

It's my understanding that Gary is now a darktown.
