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.
