I have been a regular visitor to the USA, and lived there for some time in between, and seen it over most of my life as a visitor. A time period of 45 years, almost. Whenever I'm 'back in Cali', one of my favourite places to visit is Skid Row. From here, you truly see what is rotten in the state of Kansas. Of course, we can go to all of the major American cities, but there is nothing more sobering from the glitzy side of downtown than to go work in a soup kitchen, if they still have them, just a few short blocks away from the wealth. It is a sad memory of America. But always an honest one.
