by Julie CarrikerThey wonder if we feel uncomfortable being the only white people on the block… but they don’t know our wonderful neighbors:
The eighty-year-old retired schoolteacher who runs a business with her seventy-five-year-old sister and goes on cruises
The sixtysomething man who takes photographs and paints pictures—yet has a backyard right off "Sanford & Son"
The "witch-doctor" next door, who makes furniture & jewelry and is still a ladies’ man at nearly sixty
Or the ninety-year-old man who still paints his second-floor trim and mows the lawns of the widow ladies on the block
WHY should we fear these people?
