I waited all day for an interview that I had with Beth of Maid in Heaven (bdannerhauer). The next day I called to see what the problem was. Beth informed me that she felf very uncomfortable because she did not see a 'white face'. She said that she had a family that depended on her so she could not put herself in jeopardy. Beth went on to say that the boarded up houses made her feel very unsafe. There are two sets of boarded apartments (2 apartments each), owned by 'white people', ready for rental and 2 houses being renovated for 'white people', by white people, on my street. Had she circled the block or came back later, she would have seen 'white people' jogging, walking their dogs, waiting on the bus, working on their houses, etc. I live off of Tuckaseegee in the Enderly Park Community, near Freedom Drive, near Seversville. Beth is vey much unaware of the 'regentrification' situation that is going on in this community. She did not even have the decency to phone me to let me know that she was not coming. However, my question to her is, ""Beth, what is your real problem?""
