Voices from the Community: Death and Birth of a Hood
I was born into Hunters Point and I have lived here half my life. I shop at Foods Co., I eat at B&Js in the morning, and I wince every day on my way to work as the 15 bus rolls past the McPlaything that used to be the Tic Toc Drive-in.
Hunters Point is a city within a city. I was 17 before I even saw downtown. A predominantly black population shares its housing projects or works in the warehouses along the back streets.
Over the years, Hunters Point has changed. It has seen the early stages of urban renewal, lost community landmarks and gained Asian American and white new arrivals. These changes marked the end of the ghetto I was born and raised in.

Al Gore can’t catch a break. He takes the high road and people snicker. There he was telling the nation this week he wants every vote to count — despite the time it might take. Said Gore: “I believe our Constitution matters more than convenience.” So why does he start resembling the guy at the racetrack who goes through discarded losing tickets on the floor, hoping to catch one that got away?
