his father still called highland park "the old neighborhood." well, this wasn't the old neighborhood. this wasn't the highland park of mom and pop grocery stores, and sturdy brick homes built by men who gave their lives to the auto plants
this was an entirely new neighbor- hood that had been breaking down for a long time before drugs and desparation broke it down completely.
this neighborhood was populated by theives, addicts, and the poor, who like a double amputee had no way to move out from this circus tent of human deprivation.
