The topic of sprawl, stadiums and urban planning has come up. So I think that a little perspective and memory would be good. Here is a cultural scene I wish I had been here to see and here is what is there now. A crime like this has no statute of limitations.

There is stil a vital and dedicated community in the Hill district. I've worked with the Hill House for the last three summers in their arts progrmas for children. Terri Baltimore, who spearheads these efforts, is very dedicated to this community. I enjoy my summers on the Hill.

As I said there is no statute of limitations on a crime that big.
