I live under the el now but i've only come close to these neighborhoods until recently so I don't have the perspective of how it has changed at all over time. I hear a lot about the changes but sometimes it seems that they have been a quick decline more recently and other times it seems like the change can years before most peoples' memories here. <BR/>i think there is still some of what you remember and i think there is an honest effort among people here to rebuild and move on. it is often sad but I think there is a definite feeling of hope alsoDavid S Kesslerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13830960243625198323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523581728984846556.post-71861824216785767302007-08-11T04:01:00.000-07:002007-08-11T04:01:00.000-07:00I used to live under the el when people would dress up on Sunday and promenade along the avenue window shopping, and chatting.
