Crackhouse Special - a photo on Flickriver

Crackhouse Special

            People seemed interested in why I was photographing this street. Raglan is one street in my area that has many new condo developments coming up soon - which included demolishing over 40 houses and 1 apartment building. This section had a collection of ratty old narrow houses that had been vacant for years. It attracted the worst elements of the area who set up shop in the houses here and made walking by here scary. I had been threatened here along with several people on the street when METHany decided she now owned the block. Bathurst and St.Clair West has been like this for at least the past 20 years. It's a mix of a wealthy and middle-class neighborhood that feels more like downtown.

The apartment to the left is next. Maybe if developers were responsible people (lol) they would have cleared these houses before they became a neighborhood nuisance years ago, but they don't live here, so who cares, right?.
