I know, bad joke.... it's like when people here call downtown dangerous. I wasn't close to being in the minority there, yet there was still a pretty big difference from the Northland... and not so much black/white, but reports at Ervin of kids getting their arms broken while being thrown into lockers and what not, which was unheard of in the PH district at the time (well, middle school, anyway). I started kindergarten at Dobbs in '85.... I think the principal was Virginia Brown? She was roughly 174 years old.
