I often walk the streeets in the neighborhood around my work. Formerly home to slaughterhouses, coppersmiths, auto body shops and flophouses, Boomtown is now dotted with high-rise condos, office parks and the most beautiful ballpark in the country. It's like a state-sanctioned drug used to mask the reality of the world from the general populace. There is a feeling I get walking the streets here -- if you look closely, underneath the immaculately manicured condo lobbies and industrial park plazas there is a layer of grime and decay. I love seeing rust at the bottom of a shiny trash can.
