The Arthur McDuffie riots in Miami, 1980. That neighborhood is still living with the results. From time to time someone asks "how come we have no big supermarket chain store in the neighborhood?" or "how come we have no such-and-such in the neighborhood?" I am old enough to answer that one. "There used to be one, but it got burned down." So, now you have to go to the small independent "Quik Mart" run by a small businessman from the middle east or India who is willing to take the risk, limited stock and higher prices.
