This is why so many delivery places have a “limited delivery area” that skips black neighborhoods.
A good friend of mine was delivering a pizza to such a stinkhole and he was held up by two blacks at gun point, beaten, placed in the trunk of his car, then they drove him around looking for a place to “do him”. Thank God he was clever enough to unlock and escape the trunk at a red light. They caught the two criminals and both are still in prison.

But, but, but....
That’s “Red Lining”.
That’s RACIST!
After Vietnam I resumed college, in Chicago. One day the Tribune had a short letter from a house-bound Marine disabled veteran.
Semper Fi! After classes one afternoon, I got on my 10-speed and rode down to his address on the South Side. Chained the bike to a pole and climbed the three flights to his residence in his cousin’s apartment.
The cousin opened the door, looked at my white face and said, “You shouldn’t be here! Quick, get inside.”
I visited with my fellow Marine for a half hour or so, trying to encourage him. Finally, the cousin came in and said, “You’ve got to get out of here way before dark!”
Sad commentary, even back then.
PS The bike was still there and I made it safely back to school.
