Also, the use of the word ghetto isn't privileged to any singular class of people. The business owner is clearly trying to explain that when lawless behaviors occur daily, it is like, well, a ghetto. Where society is broken.

The only racial connotation I picked up on was from commentary in this thread being critical of the use of the word, like it is protected. It is not. Ghettos happen. If you don't like it, don't attack the person who mentions that he suffers from it. Changed the policies that created it.

The road on the north side of the river from the Hulton Bridge to Blawnox is wide enough (though without any protective barriers) for cyclists to share the way. But then you have to transition to Freeport Rd and everything falls apart. There is potential - Papercraft Ave to Chapel Harbor Drive to ... somehow behind the Water Treatment Plant to the Aspinwall River Trail. Then all the way downtown or catch the new bridge path across the river and up Washington Blvd to Negley Run. Someday it would be cool if the bus way would share a protected lane with the bikes. #dreaming
