Ever been there? That mythical place where either good people don't go or you hail from. Really, it's more a state of mind than an actual place.
On one side there's poverty and neglect, and on the other the blight of gentrification has taken hold. Kind of makes figuring out which is the 'wrong' side a bit difficult.
Just look for the razor wire. Three single strands of barbed wire atop a fence is the universal sign for 'an attempt was made,' and a good sign you've yet to cross the right tracks to the wrong side. Razor wire means you've arrived in the land of Not Fucking Around Anymore.
Y'all remember the 'broken windows theory'? It was Rudy Giuliani's favorite thing until he discovered Four Seasons Landscaping. LMPD doesn't give a shit about nobody's windows but judging by the number of times I've been subjected to the old Stop & Frisk song and dance routine, it seems they're still acting out at least part of it.
No Stairway to Heaven here. The wrong side of the tracks implies that there's a neat delineation but with the way things have sprawled and shifted over the years, it doesn't really work out that way here in Louisville.
Just a bunch of folks trying to get by and a few trying to get over on them. And maybe do a burnout or two.
This being the internet, can someone please tell me if this is serious or satire?
It's great to visit a railway station and see so many new and special things and all the things from the old days are so memorable.
There's no railway station to speak of here, just freight trains rolling through. I was just exploring along the tracks an older part of town, it was nice seeing all there was to see.
The fifth picture looks so beautiful
I love those stairs…
Thank you.
If I hadn't had to climb stairs like those so much I'd like them much better but they're glorious for photos :)
awesome shots
and I guess which is the wrong sid eof the tracks is often a matter of perspective
back when I used to travel a lot, i preferred skipping or quickly visiting the more touristy and hence nicer spots of a place, and get to the other parts of a place and see how life really is, often to places people would advise one to stay away from but I guess I got lucky I am still here to talk about it lOL
Thanks
Obi-Wan was right!
That's pretty much how I like to travel, hit the tourist-y spots if it's necessary to see what I want and then get outside that bubble as quickly as possible. Lol, usually the places I get warned about end up reminding me of places I've lived.
I think its the wya to go even if a bit risky perhaps you really get a feel for how life really is there
