Throwback
Thursday. This is a picture of my sister
Frances and I about 1946 in the Clay Homes.
The Clay Homes
was a low income rental project with, I think, 139 apartments. It was
bulldozed away about ten or fifteen years ago and has been more or less a
vacant lot until year ago when yuppie like townhouses were built there.
Of
course now the living spaces are more
expensive which means higher taxes. And
less costly on the city also. Low income housing
means more trouble with the law.
It is a
win-win situation, unless you are poor.
The Marietta
Museum of History will be having a panel discussion on the Clay Homes and other
low rental housing projects at their "Remember When" series the
morning of Friday, February 23, 2018.
Before you go check with the history museum to make sure of the time and
date.
I'll be
there either selling apples or stealing hubcaps outside (just joking).
