Poverty, People and Trenton

Trenton has almost finished it's construction on a newer, bigger, faster LCBO, you know because that's just one thing the town needs more of. Alcoholics. I'm sure tax dollars and government funds could have been spent more efficiently and progressively. A few of these photos are of the houses that once stood there. The rest of these photos are of other impoverished parts of Trenton. This is only the beginning of this project though. I don't know what it is about Trenton that makes it what it is. But I know that it's not a place to thrive by any means, I don't know whether it's the fluoride in the water, the lack of ambition it brings, or the abundance of dead-end jobs, It just doesen't feel at all like a place you want to live your whole life. But regardless Trenton is filled with poverty and in general is just a miserable place, it's almost like a stigma. But if we stay true to ourselves, our goals and our dreams, we can all escape.
