21st Century Ghetto Trash

Posted by on July 22 at 10:52 AM

When I first moved to the CD in 1995, the leading race of trash objects found at bus shelters, doorsteps, and alleys was Olde English. 11 years down the road, I’m seeing less and less beer bottles and more and more of this: b80d13f7005d.jpg The spent object is on the doorstep of my apartment building.

Are frappuccino's healthier than OE 40's? Maybe the overall health of vagrants has improved. This is a good thing.

Frappuccinos are way worse for you than beer. They're great for hang-overs though.

And it's not quite empty. You know you're neighborhood has gentrified when uneaten or undrunk trash remains as such.

Charles, you find poetry even in our city's garbage. I'll never look at a discarded Starbucks beverage container the same way. Thanks for making my day.

charles, i saw police beat on friday and loved it.

i was reminded that you are the best thing about this paper.
