Has anyone noticed when your driving down the highway and you begin to cross over into a low income part of town what's on the billboards? I was driving down hwy 30 over by fair park and East Grand area. I noticed an interesting change in the billboards. I was coming from hwy 75 with Burberry and Neiman Marcus ads. Once you make that turn to 30 it switches to sketchy strip clubs and beer ads. There were five in a row dedicated to 40's and malt liquor. I'm a fan a strip clubs as much as the next guy (or girl) but I wouldn't make it out of some of these places alive.
I just can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that we as an economy as a whole are allowing this to happen. Why are some areas allowed to turn into slums? Why are we letting the proverbial wrong side of the tracks take over? Look at Oak Cliff...
This was a few years back and I was meeting some friends at a restaurant in Bishop Arts District...........
