So you didn’t watch the Final Four pregame, don’t watch Colbert, or haven’t watched anything related to New Orleans in the last several years. He basically replaced Branford Marsalis as the default New Orleans musician in all media. His song has been in a commercial for the last few weeks.

It reminds me of the Atlanta freeway revolts which prevented this exact thing from occurring in some Atlanta neighborhoods. It’s also one reason why traffic is an absolute nightmare because these additional highways don’t exist and why we have the John Lewis Freedom Parkway they goes absolutely fucking nowhere.

Constructing to cut through and pollute economically prosperous and self-sufficient Black neighborhoods is a pretty common feature of US cities.

This map shows the Rondo neighborhood in St. Paul, Minnesota. In the first half of the 20th century it was home to most of St. Paul’s African American residents. Bounded by University Avenue in the north and Selby Avenue in the south, the neighborhood’s center was Rondo Avenue, a thriving corridor for Black-owned business and wealth.

Grocery stores, barber shops, drug stores, tailors, carpenters and car shops lined Rondo Avenue, providing spaces to do business, meet, shop and socialize during segregation and the Jim Crow era.

By the 1960s, the neighborhood’s business core was gone, replaced by newly constructed Interstate 94. Homes that had been a short walk to the shops now overlooked a six-lane highway shuttling commuters between the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Homes and businesses were seized and destroyed under eminent domain. The neighborhood was split in two.

Feature not a bug.

And that’s all why Atlanta is one of the few cities that has maintained a Black business core.

And that is why New York City has no traffic problems. Especially on the CBE.

Au Pair wants to take a couple classes while she's here in the states. I'm sitting in UNC-G's admissions office. This experience is traumatic. No wonder our schools cost an arm and a leg. The administrative bloat is off the charts. This is Big Gay.
