Donald Trump sure has his work cut out for him. What a hellhole our inner cities have become. My closest experience to this was Martin Luther King Blvd in Savannah, GA on a hot Friday night.

Naive tourist that I was, I thought all of Savannah was charming streets lined with arching trees draped in Spanish moss so the wife and I took a stroll after some riverside bar hopping. We were lucky to make it back to our hotel, I'll tell you that.

Agree with you on "Bonfire of the Vanities." I read the book three or four times but the movie was horrid. I wish Tom Wolfe wrote more novels. He's really good at it. "Man in Full" is also highly recommended.

It’s a good rule of thumb to not be on any road named after Martin Luther King after dark.

I’ve read all of Wolfe’s books but have to admit “The Right Stuff” was my 2nd favorite.

I didn’t like the man in “A Man in Full”——not my kind of guy. :-)
