The businesses never came back. Instead, large corporations slowly purchased available land and put fast-food there. I don't want to sound heartless and cruel, but this is what you get when you decide to destroy your own neighborhood with fire and vandalism.

The city needs to help come up with solutions and not just eliminate one problem and let another arise. I agree with you both.

The groceries are located on the outer edges of the city and some residents of the inner city have only a few very small Mom and pop stores that are slowly dying out and prices there are very high. To go to purchase groceries would require a long bus ride and it is just easier and less expensive to have a burger and fries. I see slow changes beginning, but I think education and better choices are the best hope.
