We had some people over today to look at our house because we’re moving to a new place soon. The neighborhood we live in is generally not known as the best one in town (I’m being slightly euphemistic here), so I tried explaining that we don’t have any issues with living in the ‘hood, generally. At least they believed me, as it was the landlord trying to sell the place, not me.

After all the visitors had left I remembered this photo I took a few weeks ago. I guess it doesn’t really help my “pretty OK neighborhood” story. The thing that made me take notice and take a photo was that there was a torn wrapper in addition to the discarded box in the middle of the sidewalk. Someone was in dire need of some protection.
