The wrong side of the tracks

As I recall, the term they used to turn my childhood neighborhood into a soggy golf course was "urban renewal." Which is a politically correct way of saying "You're not good enough for us."

Indeed, it was the most notorious neighborhood in town. While other parts of the city were given pretty names that conjured images of cool green trees and white picket fences, our neighborhood was known as "The Flats," which rolled off people's tongues like a slap across the face; hardly a handle to inspire respect, or pride.

The houses were mostly modest and old clapboard - decently kept up, but a far cry from the cookie-cutter modern split levels with pink flamingos in the yards that were springing up as the sign of success everywhere else around town. Even the river that flowed past seemed as if it had seen better days.

The city's opinion on the place could be easily perceived - streets were seldom repaired, police patrols seldom bothered with it and the old elementary school overambitiously named "Pleasant Valley" got the hand-me-down everything as attention was focused on the new buildings that served the children of the more powerful and affluent folk.

Ours was a place of diversity before society ever stumbled upon the term. I was one of a few "white" kids in the 'hood, but there was a little of everything. My buddies included the lanky black kid next door who went on to play pro ball, the red-headed Italian immigrant kid across the street whose dad spoke the language straight out of Sicily, a quiet Eskimo kid from down the street, a pretty little Latina girl from the next block over who is now an exceptional educator in her hometown.

It hardly came as any surprise when the city announced a project to "improve" itself by eliminating the entire neighborhood. It closed the old school, forced out a little family grocery store, took down the backstop of our little sandlot baseball field and sent people packing so that it could bulldoze all of their homes in the name of progress.

This is development in our society - if people don't fit our definition of pretty, we find ways to push them out. Out of sight, out of mind. Get rid of the affordable old houses and trailer parks and put in new condos that look like the ones in magazines and inspire people to a lifetime of mortgage overspending.

In the scheme of development, older schools and churches are expendable or just left empty - better to put in a nine-hole golf course, a yuppie dog-walker park or yet another strip mall.
