The Channel Inn, where I had my retirement luncheon. It's making way for Phase 2 of The Wharf. https://www.wharfdc.com/wharf/phase-2-construction/

We call it that because of a family friend who referred to anything involving Campbell's Soup as "ghetto".
 
Re: Dead Thread 2017-18: Fare Thee Well!!

Ghetto just means poor, half-arsed (gonna do a ghetto-fix on this problem), whatever, to me. This would also fall under "redneck fixes" as far as memes.

Ghetto is a specific area where perceived undesirable people are forced, either physically or by other means (socially, financially, psychologically), to live.

So whether it be inner city poor areas (mostly minorities in current day) or trailer parks (mostly white people), my definition stands. ;)

Ok, THOSE ghettos. Yeah, that's WAY different. My bad on missing that.

They are different. I'm not a big stick in the mud about it, though. Only mentioned it because bbdl did mention physically in his definition, it just wasn't in parentheses.

I recognize that people can look at pictures of the atrocities and say "Wow, it is terrible what happened in those ghettos." then see a rusted out chevy cavalier drive by and say "Wow, that car is ghetto." Doesn't make them monsters.

Correct. The term has taken on a more modern meaning.

Someone has presumably died in a helicopter crash outside Leicester City’s stadium earlier today. Presumably their owner, and maybe their manager. Details still not being released.
