I have never read a more mean spirited cruel article. What was the point of the article? Let’s see how mean a neighbor can be to two senior citizens who have moved away? The author made cruel, unjustified remarks. The two women were not classy enough for her snobbish taste.
The block party so maliciously described in the article is one of my fondest memories of all the past ten years of block parties on the 1700 block of Cleveland. A group of rhythm and blues musicians lived on our block that played in clubs on Lincoln Avenue. They came to our block fest and brought their instruments. My husband provided the keg of beer and Tina made huge bowls of mostaccioli (not lasagna, never in ten years lasagna!). Rose sang with the musicians and we all applauded. It was a warm summer evening and it was the essence of what living in the city means. The great mix of different kinds of people enjoying neighborhood life together.
