The good people in that neighborhood need to pack up and get out... soon property values will drop, violent crime will skyrocket and stores will disappear.
All that’ll be left - - liquor stores, trugs, people too poor to move, and whiny black women lamenting that white people have nice stores and they don’t...
My sister, who works in downtown Baltimore, wrote to me tonight that the city never recovered from the riots. It played out exactly as you wrote. Stores permanently closed and never came back.
