The working-class neighborhood of Northmore, just north of the 610 Loop, hardly ever comes to mind.

Lowbrow Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 There is a new rush of drilling going on right now. All supported by the man on the hill... so it must be alright. right?It does happen to put dollars in my pocket.. yet I'm entirely against it... and yes I do wrestle with myself at night.
