It's 30 degrees F in Camden, NJ and I go out to get a brisk power walk in the cold before I start my daily blog life excerpt. I always take my camera just in case I find something interesting on the way. And I come by a trash can full of neatly folded children clothes. The clothes make me question, "How can the residents of city with so little of...everything... afford to throw out good clothes?" Just so you have the stats for the city of Camden:
Estimated median household income in 2009: $26,752
Estimated per capita income in 2009: $12,808
Estimated median house or condo value in 2009: $92,900
