| | | One thing that is amazing about this area is that it can go from beauty to blight to beauty again not only by the block, but by the house at times. There are a pair of very small houses about a mile from me that illustrate this point perfectly. One is vacant, broken into from all sides, completely trashed (you can see this plainly from the road as all windows and doors are wide opened) and marred by all sorts of graffiti. Over grown grass and weeds are in front and presumably in back as well. Right next door, literally 7 feet or less away, is a well cared for home w/ a clean cut lawn, plants on the porch and all the appearances of a tidy little old lady's domicile (I don't know who actually lives in it, but that's the best way I can describe it) There is no fence or barrier of any kind between the two. I've seen areas in Germany where you can walk several blocks and be in a ghetto, then walk several more blocks and be in the suburbs; in Detroit, take 2 steps and you're in the ghetto, take 2 steps back and you're out of it again!
