That’s the Southside reality, the reality that some think that by just “covering their eyes with one hand” no one else will see. It’s happening! Current longtime owner occupied are being chased out and families interested in buying can’t compete with developers. Needless is to say: sad, sad, sad . . . I REST MY CASE . . .

One thought on “Yes, Southside Reality”
