Freeze Frame
As 1:00
p.m. rolls around, I focus my attention to multi-family homes just
south and adjacent to the South Mountain High school basketball
courts. A chain link fence separates the back yard of the common
wall units from the high school. The homes are modest in appearance
compared to the lavish
and
trendy homes being built just a few miles away. Wet clothes of
radiant colors hang along a clothes line obstructing my view of the
windows. Children run around the hanging clothes chasing each other
and laughing. Their homes are situated in a busy street next to a
bustling high school. There aren’t any big box department stores in
the vicinity. Quite contrary, the surrounding area consists of small
mom and pop stores catering to the local Hispanic population.
Looking around the area I see many other homes probably occupied by
low income families. I make this generalization based on the
conditions of the homes in the area.
