Northeast Times Letters Page enters new levels of fun

Today’s Northeast Times letters page is the second straight small edition in a row, meaning the Northeast’s wacky letter writers must still be sleeping off New Year’s Eve hangovers. (It’s possible.) There’s a reference that something’s important because the Northeast Times covers it, a discussion of whether a Muslim bus driver has peripheral vision and a link to an example of haters of White culture in, like, 1999.

But, there is this letter from a man nicknamed “Tony Irish” from all the way in Florida:

The homes on the 800 block of Foulkrod St. were built in approximately 1926, priced at $2,000 to $4,000. It was mostly farmland and just Sears (1920).

I lived on the 800 block of Foulkrod from 1974-2000. I broke camp because it turned into a ghetto because of all the Section 8 housing. Now, those same 1926 homes are going from $85,000 to $100,000. I smell a rat.

Anthony “Tony Irish” Porta
Sebring, Fla.

Geeze! I mean, they sold for $2,000 to $4,000 in 1926? They should only be like $10,000 bucks right now!
