As Darcy Frey writes, in his
famous The Last Shot: City Streets,
Basketball Dreams, published in
1994, “... [A]ll but a few scattered
rides have been dismantled; most
of the cottages and triple-deckers
have succumbed to the bulldozers
of urban renewal; and in their
place the city has erected a vast
tract of housing projects, home to
... [the area’s] newest arrivals—
African-Americans—packed so
densely along a twenty-block
stretch that a new skyline has
risen at land’s end by the beach
and the boardwalk.
