The tourist money stopped a block short of the West Side, where the Black families who staffed the hotels lived without the jobs or the housing the boom was making. In July it broke open, days of unrest on Springwood Avenue that burned out the commercial heart of the neighbourhood, which never rebuilt. The postcard resort and the town behind it had been two different places all along.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
