It's bad enough one has to share the sidewalks of downtown Brownsville with the street people sleeping on the doorways, the bicycle -riding cardboard recyclers and the bucket-carrying car washers, but now we also have to deal with starving students selling their blood for some spending money.
The scene above is witnessed daily at the CSL Plasma center downtown, ironically, across 13th Street from the Casa Del Nylon, already notorious for selling the life's blood of local taxpayers after the city bought it from downtown real-estate mogul Abraham Galonsky for $2.3 million. Can you hear the sucking sound?
Brownsville just recently spent more than $50,000 to get itself named an All-American City. Was there a category where the city competed with others on how many gallons of the blood local donors sell over a year?
Or how about how many tons of cardboard are recycled per capita in the city?
If there were, we can easily see that good ol' Browntown would have won it hands down.
On the other hand, given the popularity of the plasma center here, the city could qualify for having the most sangrones per square city mile.
