I grew up in the Linda Pollin Memorial Housing Projects. First of all, I did not know that it was built in memory of Abe Pollin's daughter. In fact, I didn't even know the name, Abe Pollin. I was a child, so I thought it was just a name given to the apartments. At the time, my siblings and I had no idea that we lived in a housing project. Well, the complex had a swimming pool, and the grounds were well kept. Also, it didn't resemble the well known surrounding projects like Valley Green , Condon Terrace , or Wahler Place . The manager was Ms. Royster who was sort of a no-nonsense type of landlord based on the conversations I heard from grownups. However, she seemed nice; plus, we all played with and knew her son, John. Well, although Mr. Pollin passed away back in 2009, I would still like to thank him for building the "LP" as we used to call it.

Anyway, have a great weekend everyone and try to get into a little bit of trouble...just don't hurt nobody...peace~

Enjoy your weekend!!
Yes, your weekend sounds like it's going to be a pleasant one out there in Minnesota. Just the girls, huh? Does that mean lots of the Lifetime channel? :)
Hey sorry about those skins, they got killed even with Shaun on the sidelines.
Have a great weekend my friend..

Busboys & Poets is a book store, bar, restaurant, coffee house, and poetry spot in one. The food is very good and the owner is activist for human rights. He's a really nice guy. I think that you would really dig the place. It's right around the corner from Republic Gardens. It's on 14th St in D.C.
Brother Jero-
I know man! My skins are out so it looks like a battle between the Steelers and the Seahawks. It should be a good game.
