IDK man, there was pretty much an open air drug market, the wire hamsterdam style, in the Longwood plaza during the late 90s early 00s.
That shit had to have been running a good 5-10 years before it was shutdown.

My great great aunt had a house in Summer Hill. I knew the Gent wasn't too far when some company came and bought the house from my uncle, (it got left to him). I think they put another house on her lot.
That was a nice neighborhood to in terms of location. When we was going there there wasn' t a lot going on, it was just old. When they built Turner Field...now everyone snatching it up.
What I want to see is what is going to happen to Decatur minor. It's some developments happening...not necessarily all good in my opinion...but this whole thing of destroying the projects, what it does is it moves people elsewhere. What was the name of those apartments?...they were like three story, and brown, tan...complex was one way in and out...somewhere on the westside....anyway, after Perry homes got demolished, (in favor of condos), a lot of people got moved here. THAT shit felt unsafe. It's weird seeing white folks in my old part of Decatur but I fear that the same thing will happen. To the point where there is no area safe from that 'hood mentality'.
I'm not for gentrification, but there are some people who don't know the meaning of "neighborhood" and the spirit of coming together and shared interests.
WTF??? that shyt don't look like nothing nice.
It's wasn't. Me and my little sister saw a man shot in the head up close. I was about 6 at the time In 87....every year was even worse. Imagine New Jack City X 10. They had to build an entire police station into the projects because it was that crazy.....
Im a product of the projects, I spent my first 12yrs in the project!! Met a ton of good people there and still connect to those people til I walk off this earth!! Anyway, much love to all my brotha's and sista's that have lived, moved out or moving in the projects!!
I understand what your ex was going thru!! Those project days effect us in many ways. I didnt have many socks during those day, I made up for it I have over 1000 pairs of socks these dayz!! I dont care if i wear them all or not, I know I have them. I wont eat carp fish and I cant stand the smell of pine-sol or bleach!! I can go on, but you see where Im going!!
