A Rainbow in the Ghetto
I was driving down Riverside dr. (one of the crappier streets in the southeast area of Austin, Texas) and lo and behold… I saw a rainbow! Since there’s been so much attention around the rainbow video circulating the web lately (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI) I had to stop and take a couple pictures. I never would have guessed that I’d see a rainbow descending into what could proverbially be called “the ghetto” but there it was. I drove around for 20 frikken minutes trying to find that pot of gold wondering the whole time if I was going to get shot or carjacked… Fortunately, there isn’t going to be a 10 second mention about the stabbing in southeast Austin on the news tonight and I’m glad that the rainbow lasted so long. Seems to me, if any place could use the beauty of a rainbow, it’d be the ghetto.
