First the Cubans from the Carter Mariel Boatlift, and then Hmong from Reagan, and finally (afaik) Somalis under Clinton. What group did Obama import? That town was always a Black Cat Wobblies stronghold. I lived among them for years. Multi generational communists. I remember when the self proclaimed Stalinists seized the co-op groceries warehouses and insisted on actual supermarket fare (hamburger helper, etc.) in the hippie granola, organic veggies and brown rice stores. Iβm thinking β82 ish? I gather however that the old Cedar Riverside area is Little Mogadishu now? Whereβd the silver ponytails migrate to?
