CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - July 29, 2009
Camden Churches Organized for People says its anti-beauty
contest is designed to call attention to the persistent problem of
abandoned homes in a city that ranks as one of the nation's
poorest.
Ballots featuring 13 apparently abandoned structures have been
distributed to churches and a community development organization in
the Cramer Hill neighborhood.
Contest organizers say some of the structures have had multiple
fires and severe vandalism yet are left standing. Some become
hangouts for drug addicts.
