I wonder if new residents and younger people could appreciate what residents in the 00s and 2010s had to deal with concerning a row of dilapidated Shiloh properties on 9th Street.
There was great excitement when there was rumblings that the National Park Service would step in because this was the home of the father of Black History and Black History Month. And then there was nothing. Then it didn’t seem the NPS was going to do anything with this property or the adjoining properties it owned. I also vaguely remember the NPS was trying to take over a private home on the corner that is now a restaurant.
Now there is a museum. I haven’t been in it. The one day when I had off and during their normal hours, the place seemed closed.
