Haunting. He looks traumatized. 

After my dad’s car for stolen/vandalized for the 10th or so time and my sister almost blinded a thrown rock, we left. That and none of the swing parks ever lasted. (At least two got burned down.) 

So about 10 years after we left, the council decided to host a fairly high profile sporting event there. No, not the Olympics, but big enough that they decided to renovate the area. Most of the (bad) buildings, including our old one, got torn down. I was not sad when I heard. 

Here’s the thing: Yes, people got evicted, but they also got re-housed nearby. My uncle lived in a terrible flat, worse than ours, and was happy with the change. He doesn’t have to bump into junkies in the hallways all the time anymore. 

And here’s the thing: It is a much better area now. 

It’s not The Hamptons. It’s still mostly working class people that live there. New houses got built. It’s nice. The park has remained in tact and untouched for a record-breaking six years. 

And then I fee bad because I know this is entirely the wrong attitude to have. It couldn’t have been easy for all those people just to be told to up and leave one day. Even if it was bad. I assume they got sent to a better area, but I don’t know.  

My uncle was happy, but he mentioned he knew a couple of people who were angry about the re-housing.

Disclosure @netflix Calls Out Trans Images in Media...rightly so #lgbtq #documentaries #netflix #disclosure #thecurvycritic

Growing up one of my favorite shows to watch was The Flip Wilson Show.  His mot popular character was “Geraldine,” who would end almost every sketch saying, “…the devil made me do it.”  There was no greater joy until Tyler Perry came along as the no-holds barred gun slinging “Madea.” But, in all the times I laughed at these men dressed as women,  did it never occur this imaging was a damaging…
