Beer, Booze, and Boobs Cont...

Ok. Sorry ppl.

Where was I? Oh Ya... Bishop Arts.

So, at the time I had never been through Oak Cliff. I was following the directions on my phone. This, mind you, wasn't always the most accurate. I started to think I wasn't in Kansas anymore after I passed the 4th chop-shop. I made my last turn before I was supposed to be "at my destination" and WHAMMM I was in Oz.

Have you ever been down there? It's a completely different world from literally across the street. There are quaint little shops with over price napkins and home decor. There are these funky clothing stores with brands you have never heard of, but prices you could never pay. There are 5 star restaurants with world renowned chefs. Book stores with the kind of books that would be classics in anyone's home. And yet Oak Cliff is one of the most dangerous places in Dallas.

How can we keep down areas like Fair Park with all the degrading and detrimental billboards? And yet we build and spend God knows what in renovations in other areas?

That's all.
