Comments on: My Neighborhood is a Wasteland Today, and I Think It’s Cool! http://proactivebusybody.com/2006/05/01/my-neighborhood-is-a-wasteland-today-and-i-think-its-cool/ Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

I grew up right here in the city. Remember when no one wanted to live here? Maybe not - I do. And I'm not rich. I own a very modest single-family house, not a condo. It was a single-family house when I bought it. My next-door neighbor (the immigrant who hung up the sign) owns his house, too. And his house is a lot bigger and nicer than my house, honey! Don't think he's on welfare. Geez. Hi, No. Looks like you are not much of an authority, either. I grew up right here in the city. Remember when no one wanted to live here? Maybe not – I do.

The people in my neighborhood work HARD, and I'm proud of them. I can tell you’re really working your advanced education with those writing skills.

Our country requires people who are willing to do these jobs and like it or not they are necessary part of the infrastructure. Si Se Puede!
