"..Get over it!"

*Yeah, it was quite unfortunate for Hawkins, those thugs and others involved. From what I was told, some of these kids came from mobbed up families in South Brooklyn, so.... Everyone knows, Italians (especially in New York) can be quite ni**&^erish in their behavior and particularly don't like Blacks folks. Get over what?!! Who in the HELL ARE YOU TALKING TO LIKE THAT?!! I just made a statement about what transpired during that time, just like when someone mentions a historical event. No need for your side commentary.

Thanks for the correction. It's been since 1988. Bensonhurst and Howard Beach stayed in the news during the late 80's.

Howard Beach was the guys whose cars broke down who got chased on to the highway. Micheal Griffith is the name of the man who died.

Yes, both areas were notoriously racist then. I don't know what Howard Beach's deal is now.

Why do people lump hipsters and young professionals in as one big group?!!!

So to me southwest Baltimore takes the prize when it comes to poor/ blue collar white communities. If you travel around I-695, you can think of blue-collar Baltimore from being anywhere from approximately Wilkens Ave. to across the Key Bridge and all the way back up towards about Loch Raven Blvd. in Towson.

And yes hipsters I can probably live without. But young professionals who have a little get up and go are always a vital asset to any growing city.
