| I realize gambling will present its own set of issues, but frankly, things couldn't get much worse. I think our city people need a reality check. Quit patting yourself on the back when driving around the north end of town and seeing all the purdy new schools, and take a drive to the east and south. For that fact take a drive downtown. Its disgusting to say the least.
Next time you're in town take a drive to wilroads garden. Note the shanty town just south of the overpass. That place should be/would be condemned if the health department was to ever visit. Raw sewage in the streets where people just drop their drawers and crap when they get the urge. Plywood houses just wired together. The place should be bulldozed over.
Back in the early 1900's we had a place called the Mexican Village that was finally condemned that was in better living conditions than this lot.
Problem is visitors don't do much traveling on the well kept north side of town, but they do drive by shantyville on the way to and from dodge.
