Inconsistencies

Another walk through my neighborhood, and I can't believe how varied one block from another can be. Fifth east near Liberty Park is a shithole. Lawns are dustbowls. Porches are littered with piles of trash and urin-stained couches. Walk just one block east to Sixth east, and it's like a whole different world. Everyone's grass is incredibly green and well maintained. All the houses are quaint, splendid, and admirably homey. Why such a big difference in a matter of a few hundred feet? I couldn't say why. It almost seems like these two neighborhoods are something like an odd couple. One being that gorgeous, blonde, blue-eyed model, the other being a sweaty, overweight, middle-aged balding man that lives in his parents basement. Maybe she's blind (rent is cheap).
