I am saddened when I see how much worse an already=fringe area of Takoma/Silver Spring has become over the past 20 years. The Piney Branch/Carrol Ave./Quebec Terrace are was never "nice" in my lifetime, but when I go by there now, I am depressed by how it has become a very run-down barrio-type area. And Langley Park doesn't even feel like the same place anymore.

Classic opening of a George Pelecanos novel.
