I found this photoset (not my photos) on flickr that also shows the type of environment in North Philly.

North Philadelphia - a set on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/eugenemartin/sets/1615267/ - broken link)

Of course, every city has it's spots that are seriously blighted to a certain degree, but for me Philly and across the river Camden takes the biscuit.
perhaps its because I visit New Orleans a lot or because I find urban blight to be fascinating, but looking at pictures of Kensington on google maps I REALLY want to visit that area. Especially underneath what appears to be an elevated railroad track. I love how the shops are situated beneath the tracks, almost like an outdoor mall of sorts. Its rundown and most likely dangerous but I really feel like I would have a lot of fun walking around there looking at my surroundings. the city design is outstanding IMO.

I would hope Texas would have more do you know how much stuff they catch from Mexico. TX is way bigger than NY and a lot of the stuff is concentrated around NYC anyways.

City vs State.
Well we kind of do; your overlooking the marijuana, meth and cocaine. Texas has so many new drugs down here; its insane. Now lots of people are using over the counter drugs and mixing it with other products. Trust me, NY can't compare with Texas, CA or FL when it comes to drugs.

That's nothing to be proud of though.

I'm not proud of it; I'm just being realistic and letting people understand how bad the drug problem is here in TX.

People been mixing OTC drugs with illegal drugs, I think all states have it bad though, when you see crack rocks in little baggies inside of a mall then there's a problem, someone could have picked it up and sold it but I wasn't gonna be that person so I walked away.

The majority of the drugs that are in NYC; have most likely gone through or was in Texas first.

Look i'm not an expert on that but I know the majority comes through ports.


Why do drugs when you can get an natural high by doing something positive, that's what I try to do, I would never do drugs.
