I did not state that all altercations between blacks/whites/whatever are racially motivated. Merely this case. Race is a factor in this case.

Its a personal preference for race card. It's quite...

But other patrons of the gas station have reported that the clerk was known to brandish a gun during disagreements. I wonder as to the race of those patrons- that would be a much more telling as it's...

What happened to responsibility-- doing what you know to be correct no matter what anyone else does. If we continue with the "he did it too" argument, we're never going show any improvement. :[[

Absolutely race is a factor. One can disagree on to what degree that it's a factor- primary, secondary, etc.
It's easy to interject facts after the point. Did the station clerk know that he was...

How do you know that these are the same people who do not have a problem waiting at Olive Garden, Applebees, etc? I would suspect that they have the same issue waiting. Seems awfully presumptuous and...

No Good Girls Go to Paris? Although admittedly, by the time we make our way down there it's a bit closer to lunchtime, it's still great breakfast fare. :)

It's a great treat to take my daughter...

We actually just left there in August. After much discussion, we couldn't deal with the crime, lack of services, deterioration of neighborhood, lack of decent shopping, and crime. It's hard even...

Well said.

No, he was 16.

They were high schoolers- including the one was killed. :[[

Awhile ago.

I generally stopped reading, but did happen to read one awhile back that had to do with estate taxes. It was absolutely horrible and filled with half truths and lazy researching. I...

This made me both snicker and sigh at the same time.

I just researched it. I'm not very happy right now. :[[

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but why would they stick around and build something new versus go to another area? How many new graduates say 'hey, let's go to this unfriendly area and make...

You didn't list what they were [[unless I just completely missed a post which is entirely possible)

There was a very interesting article about the same thing on slate a week ago. The gist of the article was that it's the constant little hits that do that most damage, not just the big ones.

In all fairness, that would be 10/20 years ago. The economy was a different animal then as well.

Only a handful of people that I graduated with in 2003 stayed in the state- most went to major...

I'm interested in the breakdown of the ages of the commentators. It seems like the majority of the younger people are saying that the region isn't that attractive to the younger set and the older...

It's alittle old [[04/09), but it touches on the points brought up about the exodus of 'younger' residents.

Well said. I agree.

I think it used to be but I don't think it still is. I only remember because I used to work for Macy's years ago-- my manager had to go to meetings at Northland and consequently had her truck...

You might want to look up the origin of the term meritocracy. It's from a satirical essay from a British sociologist in the 50s. It's been co-oped in the US to mean what 'we' want it to mean, but...

I wouldn't be surprised if it closed. It doesn't really fit with the mall and it's demographics. When I lived in the area, I only used them to pay my bill, but any real shopping I went to Somerset...

I did a quick scan and didn't see any replies to the 7/Evergreen area, so here it goes-- it's a complete nonstarter.

While it may be in a bit more solid than other parts of the city, it is...
