Opposite side of the tracks

Yesterday when we were in Lakewood we noticed on
one side of the train tracks is a Jewish Community with nice
homes and well kept yards.Close to stores and the hustle
bustle of a tight knit community.On the opposite side where we
were was much older homes.Some in disrepair.An International
Grocery Store with prices to high.A community that was poor yet,like the other side they are a
close knit community.All the children we noticed were clean in appearance.
Most of the people traveled by foot or bikes.They had no vehicles.
In back of some of the old homes were mattresses or trash in a pile.
Although it is a poorer community the people are not living in squalor like some of
the areas we have seen.
We have 1 pick up today and its at noon in Medford.
Then I have to sort when I get back home.So far no turkeys have been donated nor infant clothes.Will keep our fingers crossed.
