It looks like it's rotating ads for other stories on the FOX45 site. It just so happens that FOX45 uses a ton of mugshots in their stories and loves to post stories of 'black people committing crimes' so they're bound to get this. But this one is coming up more than the others when I try other devices or IPs.

I don’t know a ton about the budgeting situation of the city so I’m not gonna argue or agree with that, but I just mean that this seems to show that these kind of programs are a good goal to support and work towards. Just because we can’t make that happen right now, we can still identify this as something people want to make happen. And treat not having the resources for it as a problem to solve rather than a reason to dismiss the idea. Not that you necessarily were, but I see people often discount something because there’s not enough resources, but that isn’t a permanent thing.

Sure, I guess what I meant was that if something only works in the area it’s accessible that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea or isn’t working. It just needs to be brought to more areas. And that deciding something is worth spending money on is the first step to addressing the “not enough money” problem.

I for one look forward to this actual good news never being covered by FOX45.

EDIT: Holy fucking shit! I had to go look. The current lead story on FOX45s website right now is a three sentence 'story' about allotting funds to the Blacks in Wax Museum, that has an break in the middle of those three sentences to show a graphic for another story that's just pictures of black peoples mugshots! This is the most race baiting thing I've ever seen a 'legitimate' news org do.

It literally has the copy "It is the nation’s first wax museum presenting the history of great Black Americans." that is followed by black people mugshots. Fucking wow!

Price range will have a large influence here.

In the $200k range I'd look in Patterson Park Neighborhood, probably in the blocks between Fairmount and Fayette (definitely stay South of Fayette). In the $400k range I'd look at Canton.
