A Wealth of Pollution along Troost

Below is a list of trash items noted while waiting for a bus ride. The following day most of the large items were cleaned and removed. What does this say about our culture and those who live and drive along Troost? After all, the title of this article is ironic, right? Troost has very little wealth compared to Overland Park, KS, for instance, but it does have a "wealth" or a lot of pollution. Well, this is sort of like a Harper's excerpt; I hope you enjoy it and it causes you to examine the world. |

There is also the potential of pollution of white liberals from Kansas trying to "clean up the streets." |
