I lived in the "hood". I don't remember it. It was somewhere around 79th and Euclid avenue in Cleveland Ohio. This was well before the Cleveland Clinic built in that area. My dad worked on Hough Avenue. They had squat but they knew that they wanted something better than 79th and Euclid. We moved to a dinky trailer in the suburbs. My dad constantly looked for a better job and was able to get on with Cleveland Crane. Luckily he continued to try and better his situation as they went under in the early 80's but he had already been gone from there.
People can find rare circumstances where things absolutely out of your control happen but your life is what you make it.
So am I to understand your father did this without the state or federal government coming in to assist?
