Why is it that the “east side” of a city seems to be the yucky part?
Hey everybody,
I’ve visited cities and I’ve lived in cities and I’ve noticed a common theme.
More often than not, the east part is usually the yucky part.
Vancouver’s “East Vancouver” is yucky.
Toronto’s east part is yucky (only it’s called Scarborough…..eeeewww)
Calgary’s Northeast is yucky.
London’s east end was yucky (hello…Jack the Ripper’s haunting grounds)
East L.A. is allegedly yucky (Cheech and Chong made up a song about it)
So what gives? In *YOUR* city, is the east side the yucky side?
Discuss.....
