  1. We've only got a little while before gentrification finally stamps it out, so enjoy it while it lasts. This is a neighborhood with a long history of being pissed on by authorities. Property was seized with eminent domain (the black families who lived here took it all the way to the Supreme Court and lost) and bulldozed to build housing for returning war veterans. The authorities claimed that they moved 928 bodies in a cemetery to a white cemetery across town, but its not clear if that's true. The federal government allocated ten million to rehab Allen Parkway Village, but local government ran off with some of the money and spent it on other stuff. Later when utility workers found bodies they just plowed right through the bodies with no credible attempt at preservation.
