America cities grow in funny ways and sometimes they end up not being allowed to absorb every acer with in their borders. Some times you wouldn't know unless you lived there. Other times they become the "problem areas."[/column]
[column]There are several areas in Orlando that have become crime magnets or pools because they only fall under County jurisdiction. Some of these neighborhoods have only had street lights and storm drains for a little over 10 years. Some of them still have unpaved roads.
Over the next 60 days I'll be working on an essay discussing these issues, their cause and the implications for the people living in these communities. My goal is to publish 60 images with in those 60 days.[/column][/col-sect]

Looking forward to this essay, Jon! Let us know if you need help finding material or making connections. We might be living overseas, but we can still hook you up with the right people. I have a couple of people in mind, but not sure if you already have all of your 60 days planned out...
I'm going to take you up on that one. :)
