More finds from the poor side of town.

Had a few more hours to hit the site in what used to be the poor side of town. Found a 1949-1951 Ford key, a nice brass escutcheon, a fairly abused aluminum Palmolive coupon, an aluminum token for a towel at the University of Texas, a sterling silver thimble, a crumpled 12ga Winchester shell, what looks like a pretty early pistol slug below the UT token, wheats of 1917, 1919, 1920, 1920D, 1925, 1935D, and the 50s, and some of the usual relics. Don't know what the lead piece is left of the ChuckECheese token. It's shaped like a flattened spinning top and was attached to something on top(for weight?) Maybe a different type of tailor weight.

Welfare and crazy checks.Now they have more money than working folks.
 
Earthlypotluck, it turns out that crappy property that people were forced to live on for generations because of the color of their skin, ends up being prime real estate for the well-off to get out of the suburbs and back to the heart of the city. Poor folks can't afford the taxes any more, so now they're forced out into those crappy 1970s houses in the suburbs. It's like cruel irony. Meanwhile, the old hood gets turned into white hipster cool.
