A Walk Down Route 66

In the Heart of Victorville, where the struggling meat markets meet Wal-Mart and Costco, lies 7th Street. 7th is the starting point of Route 66. It is a place where i feel a mixture of fear and amazement. I cant believe how far one side of 7th has come, and the other, well, it hasn't changed for the better. It is one of the rare places in the world where on one side, multi million dollar mansions lie and where shacks neighbor them. It is a symbol of imperfection to me and to this world. The businesses are filled with people who need a break from 30Mph speed limits. The mixture of races and classes are everywhere. A place where a broken down 1970's Toyota Corolla is passed by Ferrari's. It is a place where Illegal Immigrants stand on side streets waiting to make a honest buck, and where the rich drop hundred unknowingly. Other than on the street, there is no middle.
