Remember how Mayor Robbie Perkins wanted to emulate Greenville, South Carolina and kept pointing to Greenville's many downtown performing arts venues as such a great success story? Well how about this? Greenville's Woodside neighborhood is the 18th most dangerous in America, "70% of the neighborhood children live in poverty and there are more single mothers in this section than there are in 98.1% of the entire country."
Update: the link above no longer works because Greenville's Woodside has risen from 18th most dangerous to 15th most dangerous.
Is this what we want Greensboro neighborhoods to become? This is what happens in cities that invest their resources in only the high rent neighborhoods. This is what Robbie Perkins, Walker Sanders and a Downtown Greensboro Performing Arts Center will do for Greensboro.
Oh yeah, Hell Day spilled over into Tuesday......
