Multi-Millionares and Homless


I love my neighborhood. The above photos is a house that is 3 blocks away from my house. Across the street from my house is a "Palm Reader". Women of the evening frequent my street. Where else is Dallas as this much diversity? I was headed to work last week and saw a couple walking down the street rolling their suit cases behind them. I strongly suspect they were carrying all of the their worldly possessions. I have learned to embrace my neighbors. Section 8 apartments quietly reside next door to my office. I have become accustomed to the frequent request for a job or some money followed by a tale of woe. I always politely decline and offer a cold drink for their departure. I consider them my neighbors and treat them accordingly. I have learned to walk in the neighborhood without fear; looking people in the eye and greeting them. I have in the Peak Suburban Historic District for over 5 years and have not encountered any problems walking the neighborhood. I think I will stay.
