The Denver Zoo is really nice..and as far as i'm concered, its in a old neighborhood..but it isn't ghetto. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in CO Springs is also not remotely in an area thats could even be considered Ghetto.
From what I can tell all zoos across America are in, next to, or not far from, a ghetto somewhere. I am looking for exceptions to the rule. Also, if anyone knows this, would like to know why so many zoos are built in the ghetto. One theory I have is that zoos predate suburbia, and that they are built in some of the oldest parts of a city.
Give us some examples of zoos in the "ghetto". I am not familiar with any.
Pittsburgh zoo opened in 1898. The nearby areas that are ghetto now weren't back then.
That's what I am getting at. Perhaps the areas outside of older zoos were nice at one time, but turned ghetto as people moved to nicer areas in other neighborhoods or suburbia.
