Neighborhood cornerstone: Ritter House needs a boost as tenants set up shop, by Chris Morris (Tribune).
Hock hopes Saturday’s S. Ellen Jones Neighborhood Association block party will bring more attention to the house, which could become the cornerstone of the area, he said. The park in the rear of the school is named after Ritter.
“It’s a beacon of hope and help for the neighborhood,” Walter said. “I hope we can get more tenants like the Home of the Innocents that can help people. I’m glad to be part of something like this that I know will be a tremendous benefit for the future of that neighborhood.”
With all due respect to good intentions, who decides what the cornerstone of a neighborhood could or should be?
