I don't know what people mean when they say Atlanta is 'Racially Divided', so I don't know if
this nytimes article about how Black people are moving to the south in record numbers, supports their position or debunks it.
What's interesting to me is that this "reverse-migration" is happening within what Wikipedia says is a greater trend of
"unique and drastic demographic increase in its white population" happening "at a pace that outstrips the rest of the nation."So , if your definition of "racially divisive" is that is that jim crow is still in affect, the new your times is calling you wrong. And if your definition of "racially divisive" is that Atlanta is that its become blacker and everyone else is fleeing it, well, math disagrees.
Anyhow, we spent the day at the Rivermeade pool. I made Burgers , floated, and listened to Stevie Wonder, Buddy Holly, and Pitchfork's top tracks of 2010, all thanks to Rhapsody Music. I have the world at my ear-tips and am still struggling to find new music. However, Laura Marling has a new album, and I discovered a Tallest Man on Earth EP, so I ain't feeling no pain. Later this year there is wilco, yuck, fiest, and iron and wine.
Met the neighbors, and also, a bit later the neighbors' dogs came over on their own to check up on us, and pee on things. One of the most endearing things about our neighborhood is how beautiful large dogs have free range. It's anachronistic, I think, which I love, but it also makes me fear some kindly guy is going to open up a carnival glass shop down the street and everything is going to get weird.
