    Miami Herald on the Scott Carver Homes. Suburban development by the government (Miami-Dade County Public Housing and Community Development; McCormack Baron Salazar).

    …the $84?million development, which straddles Northwest 22nd Avenue from 75th Street south to the Florida East Coast rail tracks, will be dotted with playgrounds, a community center with a swimming pool, a gym and a computer lounge.

    It’s no longer a housing project, but a publicly subsidized, privately built and managed development with scaled rents depending on income.

     

    Let’s banish terms like “urban core” and “inner city”.

    AGP

    The Avant Garde Project is a series of recordings of 20th-century classical, experimental, and electroacoustic
    music digitized from LPs whose music has in most cases never been released on CD, and so is effectively
    inaccessible to the vast majority of music listeners today.

  • a handle, a lever, a means

    From The Fire Next Time:

    One would never defeat one’s circumstances by working and saving one’s pennies; one would never, by working, acquire that many pennies, and, besides, the social treatment accorded even the most successful Negroes proved that one needed, in order to be free, something more than a bank account. One needed a handle, a lever, a means of inspiring fear.
