The article begins by explaining how the cash ghetto came to be. The author explains the change in the community following a newly constructed road; the town went from a mixture of poor and middle-class homeowners, to the midde-class leaving for the suburbs and only the poor were left to live in the town; thriving dealerships, turning into used car lots and body shops; from family restaurants following the middle-class family, and leaving fast food restaurants to open.
