X marks the spot.

Crack house?
roxbury was a real dump when i was growing up.
it didn’t get much better when i went to NEU in the 80s.
by the pic attached to the story... looks like it hasn’t improved much
Suppose you are a white student studying black history and civil rights. Will you be allowed to stay there, or will they discriminate based on race????
The house is NOT in Boston, it’s in Roxbury which is a whole different ballgame. Back in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, Roxbury was ‘the’ place to live, then it was taken over by people who didn’t appreciate decent living and turned it into a pit, which it still is today....I used to live there so I speak from experience. I lived in a decent neighborhood and one nite my father and I were sitting out on the stoop, next thing we knew there were gun shots ringing out from across the street, my father threw me and him on the ground next to the brick stairs he built, next we knew people were running up and down the street.
My mother and I went back to see the old neighborhood about 20 years ago...the beautiful stairs my father labored over were now painted over with white paint, my father probably rolled over in his grave multiple times, he babied those stairs, the neighborhood at the time we visited was all hispanic, all of a sudden a cop pulls up behind us, we were sitting across the street from the old house, cop asks what we were doing, I explain we used to live over there and are just reminiscing and looking at all the changes, he said he got a call for a ‘suspicious car with suspicious looking people”....SMH.
