Voices: Part of history


Well, here I go, writing to the Globe again, but I just can’t restrain myself.

Hurrah for Phil McClendon and boo to the bunch of snotty people in that neighborhood!

I live just a few blocks away, and I am tempted to rent that apartment for a month just because I can. The Bonnie and Clyde thing is a part of Joplin’s history, and I’m sorry to say that history is not always pretty.

So neighbors, put your big girl and big boy pants on and know that you cannot always have your way.
