Reading that story reminded me of what Charleston went through after Hugo and now. Before Hugo came, the tourist area of Downtown was looking rough, especially the Battery. After $$$ came in from the damage, Downtown started to look a whole lot better and more rich *cough y--t* people started to come in.
Downtown has always had a big African-American population but it may be shrinking very soon. Some people can't afford to live downtown anymore and investors are buying up their houses. Also, a person would buy a house for about $100,000, fix it up and sell it for $300,000. Not many African Americans in Charleston can afford that.
After the dust has settled, NO is going to be the same way because they have displaced the people who have made NO what it is today.
