news from the hood

This guy was just a kid when I lived in this apartment building.  These apartments are 300 sq ft and he grew up here with a brother and 2 little girls and a little boy that were cousins - and their grandparents.  The mothers of the kids dumped them to be raised by the grandparents who were from the Dominican Republic and didn't speak any English.  The two little girls both ended up getting pregnant and having kids by the time they were 15 and I have no idea what became of them.  When I lived there, the guy (that was just arrested) got a scholarship to a college in Indiana and was the first in the family to get a shot at college.  I remember the day he left for school, the grandmother thought she was having a heart attack because she was so distraught about him leaving home.  He ended up getting expelled a few months later for having alcohol on campus and came home and ended up becoming a heroin addict.  He is still a junkie to this day.  His older brother died of an overdose about 5 years ago.  The grandparents died many years ago and this guy ended up inheriting a great deal on a rent-controlled apartment.  To be honest, I am surprised he is still alive.  44,59,54,0,B
