...that said the house could not be sold to "coloreds". Some of that precious history and culture ain't so pretty. i bet a lot of the neighbors back in the '50s and '60s weren't so hot on the "outsiders" moving in and "destroying the culture" then either.

Just sayin'.

Personally, i think high-density housing of the kind put in around 34th and Belmont added a lot to that community.
