Explores the ways a demolished neighbourhood in Easton, Pennsylvania, still resonates in the imaginations of displaced residents. The authors highlight the intersecting languages of blight, race, and place as elderly interlocutors attempt to make sense of the world they lost when urban renewal initiatives razed a densely packed neighbourhood of Lebanese American, Italian American, and African American residents.
