The framing for the new series seems to be the Fast and Furious series. At least I can say I've seen enough just from watching the trailer. > > On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 2:49 PM, Mark Jeffries <spotl...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> >>> THE NEIGHBORHOOD (Mon. 8)--An indirect response to Kimmel's wisecrack >>> yesterday about never seeing brown on CBS except Murphy Brown, a whitebread >>> family from the Midwest moves into an LA hood and hilarity ensues.

One session I attended was led by two professors from Pitt and was about re-evaluating concepts of community in the wake of gentrification. One professor gave a history of city governance of land use and she noted that cities were not divided officially into neighborhoods until the 1920s and this became vital after WWII when the federal government started backing home mortgages and neighborhoods were in the program or not according to red lines drawn at neighborhood borders. The second professor talked about the gentrification process. During the Q & A an older white woman said she lived in a predominately African American neighborhood for decades and has been happy there. When she and her husband went to the bank for a home equity loan to replace their roof they were turned down because the neighborhood their house was in. I wonder if that would be a storyline in this series. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
