IL, I'm happy to read your report of the event!!! What fun for you both!
IL, sounds like fun. I always enjoyed Chris Rock. No clue who Chapelle is.
I’ve only ever seen one comedy show in person. Jeff Foxworthy in the late 90s. That was fun.
Wow, sounds like a great time, IL - glad you enjoyed yourselves. Sorry Chapelle was off his game - generally I like him well enough. But y'all do realize Chapelle lives in one of the most woke-ed places on earth, (or at least in Ohio) right? Maybe they've gotten to him, lol. (Hey, I'd live there too if I could afford it! It's a great, quirky little town)
No, I don’t know where he lives in Ohio or what kind of Socio economic environment it is. I don’t see how it could be more woke than LA but is it on equal footing?Originally Posted by early morning
Chris Rock has a house in New Jersey and he was riffing on his white neighbors (He’s done well! Haha, his joke) and he’s surrounded by “Black Lives Matter “ signs in his woke ass neighbors’ yards. He maligned them for their pretend concern when really they are just afraid of appearing non inclusive. And then he said he was so disgusted by all those signs because he was afraid they were pulling down the value of his property that he put a Donald Trump sign in his own yard. Ha ha.
I've never been to LA so I can't comment on that. He lives just outside Yellow Springs, a small artsy village with a small but pretty well known liberal arts college. (Horace Mann was its first president. Coretta Scott King and at least one of her siblings attended school there). His dad was a professor there. While the people there aren't all wealthy, the property values are high, at least by other local standards, and it's really hard to find a place to buy. It seems pretty much everyone in town is a pretty liberal activist of some form or another. Refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 50s, a hotbed of activity during the civil rights era, much protest of the Vietnam war. SNL had a skit about their "sexual consent" rules at the college in the early 2000s. And they were set to to pass a rule that would allow non-citizens in the village to vote in village elections, leading the state to freak out and put an issue on the ballot that no local laws could be passed to let non-citizens vote on anything. They are pretty accepting of everyone, though - I worked with a HUGE Trump fan who lived there in 2016, and it really annoyed her that her signs did not get a rise from her "lib" neighbors.
That's funny!!

very interesting! Thanks for the background.
Okay----Here's a car that might lower property values, sitting out front. That way, the 'sessor would lower your prop taxes, due to the 'hood being a blighted eyesore. Uh-huh. At least you'd hope so. But yeah---Nothing wrong with that. Nope. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.2023-01-23 (3).jpg2023-01-23 (3).jpg2023-01-23 (3).jpg2023-01-23 (3).jpg
