I love the fact that my grandfather helped pour concrete on most of the major buildings in this city, and that my family called it home for decades.

I love that it feels like home ot me, and whenever i go to the city, i immediately feel in touch with my roots: this is where my father played this is where my mother grew up this is where my friends and i went to drink and hang out and laugh

i hate that it's become such a violent and dangerous place to be

i hate that my kids think it's a place where you can't go because you'll get shot (I continually tell them that it's not ture and not to beleive the hype)

I hate that no one in power seems to give a shit about geting the city back on its feet
