"White Flight" has always been crazy, IMHO. A black family moves in all of the white folks haul ass. As I understand it, that wasn't as much of a problem here as it was up north. People here tended to stay put. Despite the busing. I sometimes wonder if the northern cities would have fared better if folks there had done the same?

A few weeks ago the Plain Dealer ran a story - 'what if Pittsburgh and Cleveland joined into a single municipality?' I thought, yeah, right lol.

Cle and Pit one city? That's nuts. There over 100 miles apart. WTF?
