Growing up in Lake Hills then was a part of Americana, not so much anymore.
I saw the changes when I returned a few years ago.
The K-Mart closed down and became an "LA Gym", Starbucks on every corner.
Middle-class America became an area of wealth and corruption.
I miss the old neighborhood.
[I miss the old neighborhood.]
“You can’t go home again.”
Mostly Asian Indians (many are contract software engineers), Filipinos, Chinese, and Russian.
The Filipinos are really excellent people, friendly, very hard working, and quite taken with the idea of being “Americans.”
The Asians and the Russians tend to segregate themselves, but, as far as criminal activity, I feel safer with them than I do around a lot of American born ethnics.
The Bad News - the Asian Indians crush the wage scale for software engineers, and the other immigrants crush the wage scale for low skill and temporary jobs.
