...would be a lie to call the neighborhood thriving. By the high school you can still see the word "press" painted on the concrete in white paint, marking off the boundaries behind which cameramen and reporters strained to watch the buses roll in and out. The streets aren't spotless, the houses aren't beautiful, and many buildings are boarded up.

Three years ago he switched to Royal Globe Insurance Co., and since then he has collected $2,275 on three claims-two for water damage caused by heavy rains, one for a robbery.
