Thank you. Appreciate your correcting me on that.

Yes, I think she should take it.

I don't want to paint everyone with the same brush, but when I lived in Germantown (Philly)I rehabbed two old houses on west Walnut Lane, just off Germantown Av. My neighbors were mostly upper income whites. Across Germantown Av were middle to lower income blacks. My neighbors never took any interest or had any empathy for anyone not in their snooty group. They thought it really strange that I took an interest in Germantown High and patronized black-owned businesses on Germantown Av. They'd shit in their pants whenever there was any word of new business development along Germantown Av. God forbid that we'd actually tackle local unemployment by letting new businesses open on a commercial street!

To me, the other side of Germantown av was part of my neighborhood.
