"The wrong side of the tracks" is more than a saying

[currymax]

Have you ever noticed that in every small town there is a set of train tracks that demarcates where the town goes to shit?

Like if you never cross them, life is all white errthang, but as soon as you cross over them, you're swamped by ethniks.

Nobody ever talks about that

probably nobody talks about it because few posters live in small towns, and/or they never leave their basement.

This is kind of early 1900s saying. A more contemporary version would make reference to 'living in the wrong school district". As that has been primary driver of social stratification for the past 50 years.
