(Pop. 2,000, 16 churches) A quote from a wife of one of the Ministers: "Around here, your reputation is more important than your record." (Note: 'record' in this example referred specifically to *criminal* record...but it's also true, more broadly, of just about any past, sordid behavior)

#Glendale began rooted in #conservatism, eventually becoming a #sundowntown. This extended to #ForestLawn promoting “Christian optimism" and #GeorgeRockwell trying to establish a HQ for the American Nazi Party in the city. Today, it's politically liberal and overall diverse. #americana #wa #travel #ca #youtube #funfacts

So naturally Bob Kettle, city council's most excited ex-cop who wants a spy network, refused to turn over video footage of my assault directly infront of his home surveillance camera 🥴
I guess Bob Kettle likes his privacy more than solving crimes.
Yet here we are, spying on a few thousand old asian grannies in the CID and probably helping get them in trouble with ICE.

@ThatPrilla #ForsythCounty #SundownTown #OprahWinfrey
I had good friends who took part in the 1987 marches there. They were pelted with rocks and beer cans by white teenagers. Oprah did a show from there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_Forsyth_County_protests -

The reputation as a #SundownTown still exists.
A Tribe Called Quest lost their wallet in El Segundo.

#racismSucks Are you near a #Sundowntown? I've been to a few places that brag about their history of redlining, but haven't knowingly spent any time in a sundown town.
