Our Lost American Cities
I rise in mourning today to grieve for our lost American cities.
Count me amongst those who find the term “new normal” offputting. I am not the squeamish type, but it grates on my ear.
Not the kind of grating that makes you reach for your concealed handgun, but the kind that shortens a convo and moves you on to the next page of your reading.
One thing that does come to mind as I contemplate a return to “normal” is there are American cities that have been so indelibly changed in the first half of 2020 that they will never return to their prior greatness.
These are our lost American cities and it is a tragedy of gargantuan proportions.
