i'm noticing now that the city of chicago is referring to woodlawn as east and west woodlawn. oh, interesting. right? have you guys noticed that where woodlawn now is. i've never heard that language used before. what i like east but of course what they're calling east west, east, west line today is now where the obama new center is going to be. you know, it's being built right across the street from hyde park high school. so when they use that terminology, it is to distinguish or to separate this area from the traditional woodlawn and now is being referred to east whitman. i'm from buffalo originally which is kind of a smaller in terms of demographics also you know redlining and a similar thing is happening right where we have, you know, east side and west side. east side has typically been know you, know depleted of resources and now suddenly they're calling it east buffalo. it's just rebranding. yes. yes. so that's what's actually going on right now. yeah. the city. yeah. again, you talk about how these two characters are linked daily is you know affect barksdale in his comm

and so those the same thing in woodlawn. no one is there anymore. so the system continued to operate and intensify to the degree that these neighborhoods have been the popular. by 70, 80% in some cases. so yeah don't i don't think it is change and i it doesn't appear to me that i don't see any policy that is attempting even try to reverse or try to sustain those who are left in any kind of healthy way. mm. yeah. lance williams thank you again so much for sitting down with us. thanks for having. thank you. sarah peterson is the author of mom influenced the maddening picture perfect of mommy influencer culture. she has written about motherhood and feminism for the new york times, harper's bazaar, the washington post and elsewhere, she also writes the newsletter in pursuit clean countertops, where she explores the cult of ideal motherhood. she lives in new hampshire, adrienne gunn is a humorist and podcaster obsessed with pop culture. visit her newsletter, the f is my happy ending on substack and find her podcast, don't ruin this for me on your fave po
