Notes, November 8, 2011
![“The streetwise citizens of Charlotte Street have taken to putting up signs in the South Bronx for visiting politicians. Here, Ronald Reagan says a few words with ‘decay’ staring him in the face. Other signs read ‘broken promises.’ The people of the urban ruin plan a counter-convention to the Democratic one 8/11 to emphasize the fact that many people visit the site but none do anything to improve conditions here.”
