Aging in Al Balad

Many of the older buildings of Jeddah are in disrepair and are neglected by, what I call, the slum lords.  Even so, most of the the dilapidated buildings are still inhabited by poor workers from third world countries.  I do think that the old green and white signs naming the district and the streets are quite beautiful.  They would make beautiful artwork hanging on the walls inside homes.

Uh oh, don't give anyone ideas; the pretty signs might start disappearing. ;)
