We finally caught up on HBO’s Show Me a Hero about public housing in Yonkers. My mom kept saying that the way people talk in the show reminded her of my Bubbie, my Great-Grandmother, because she and my Great-Grandfather used to live in Yonkers. Of course, it’s a little awkward because all the people from Yonkers on the show are racist. But we’re probably all descended from people who were a little racist. But either way, I loved the show. David Simon has to be the most brilliant show runner in the history of TV. No one else could possibly make good TV about a fight over low-income housing.
