East 6th is the front line where gentrification hits the ghetto.



no, this isnt that "east"

The dividing line is Congress Ave. So Dirty 6th, "6th St" is all on East Sixth.

East of I35 used to be the no-fly zone for ghetto, but that's no longer the case


this shooting happened on 6th & San Jack, right smack dab in the middle of the traditional "6th St Bars"

Yeah, I was just gonna point out the difference between being east of Congress and east of 35. I'm glad east of 35 is getting better. Was a shithole when I was there. Any news on what happened? Domestic terrorism or just a fight that got out of hand?

Damn, I must have been a few blocks away earlier in the evening. Ate at Max's Wine Dive last night. We walked away from Sixth for our boozing and I was home at 1AM so I didn't see any of this.

Driving back to Katy a month or so ago we left on 290. Which (correct me) begins as Cesar Chavez? Anyway we drove out and noticed the gentrification. Little young families walking out to vacant lots with food trucks all over. New home next to boarded up crack house. It is surreal. I told my wife, "you know they probably had crime scene tape surrounding each of these empty lots at some point 2 years ago.
