i'd add east st louis to that list. i'd like to find a local to show me around. without knowing much about it, i've wanted to go to harrisburg for quite sometime. it's the lure of the susquehanna i know. have you toured oakland already?

Funny you should mention Oakland. I probably travel there once a year for work. I'm with a national NGO that supports underserved young people, and the folks who run our program there are bad ass, most having grown up in Oakland. I've visited some parts of the community with them that I would never venture into on my own. It's an especially intense place right now, with waves of millennial IT workers coming across the bay for relatively affordable housing.
