oh my god THIS article on so many levels... well written and exploring real shit in such a light-hearted but provocative manner Jackie Simon Alex Garcia Katie Mame Diarra Wills Paul Lombardi Marina Baller Afroz Rose Leah Michaels William Berry Dante Fuoco Breathe Tiye Queen Tre Isaac Hannah Behrmann Stevona Elem Rogers Rae Renee Alyssa Owens Dara Yaffe Felicia Winder Kady Amundson Clincy Living in Bolton Hill taught me a lot about our city and the role that segregation plays. I liked to bring 10 or 15 of my boys from my old neighbourhood up to my place to show them a little experiment that I figured out. I’d wait to around midnight and take a large, full trash bag out to the front of my house, cut it open and dump its contents all over the street. Then we’d smoke, drink, club, or whatever, but by 2 or 3am, all of the trash would be gone. The city would come through and pick up everything, leaving the front of my house squeaky clean. Then I’d do the same thing with a bag of trash in the black neighbourhood closest to Bolton Hill called Marble Hill. And the trash would sit. It would sit for days, unless residents cleaned it up. Marble Hill was known for being more dangerous, but Bolton Hill had more cops patrolling, in addition to better-kept parks and first priority when it came to snow removal.
