I believe, for the most part, everyone is concerned about young people,
violence, guns, poverty, etc. But when you live in a place for long enough and
read these stories over and over again, it is just natural to get a little
weary of it. I think most people, where ever they live, just want to

He knew he was in trouble and didn't say a word to his employees and the loyal

sharon you always have great input and you managed to raise good kids - with
your husband from what you've shared with us through the years.
So I want to share something with you as a whitey...

First of all, I am not sure you even know the racial backgrounds of the various
posters in this group. I don't.
Second, you don't know and are making assumptions about all of us. I was raised
in the 70s by very socially liberal parents- very Free to Be You and Me, love
everyone, don't judge.
I think you are projecting your anger at the wrong group of people.
Reading through these posts show that you are the racist here. Why not work to
fix the problem instead of spreading the hate. I turned your racist comments
around so you can see what you said.

To often I have shown some properties in and around the AP area to various

Hey, Oakdorf, I grew up on Unami... don't know your age, or even your

I went to Ocean, class of '88.
On another note, I could care less about race as well. I grew up so close
to the Asbury bridge, spent lots of time on and near the boardwalk growing
up,

No, her name was Michele Lepore. I can't remember her grandmother's name
now, but it was her paternal grandmother's mother. So this woman had a
different last name. She lived on Sunset Ave, close to the Wanamassa
bridge, on the south side of the street. I can't remember the exact house
now,
Awesome story none the less
My grams (great grandmother) moved here in 1921, my grandmother left when she
