pretty much every damn year....like clockwork

they were part of the township totally surrounded by the city....cause the city in their right mind sure as hell did not want to deal with the issues.....
the logical thing to do would be to just bulldoze them all...and that is what the state wanted to do.
Problem was...folks had their lives invested in those houses and they would take quite the whack to have their homes condemned

Beautiful little chunk of land...surrounded by a park.....

so they stayed wonder what happened to them.
just tried to find the area on google maps without much luck
