Having spent time in both cities, Washington Park/East St. Louis and Detroit are similar in many regards. I've seen dancers strung out on heroin dancing in WP.
I talked to someone in law enforcement about the embezzling, because it seemed ludicrous that that much money could disappear and not be noticed. He said that it was often state and federal grants and they wouldn't be recorded in the regular books of the city.

I liked this line in the editorial: "Washington Park is a very sad place. It is hard to imagine a happy ending."
Actually, I don't just imagine happy endings in WP. I get one or two every time I'm in town :) I may be there on Thursday afternoon.

How do you expect to get away with embezzling a fifth of the yearly budget? I hope that was over many years.
