Red Light District

You have to drive through the Red Light district to get anywhere in Monrovia. Remember there is only one main street through town. There are so many interesting things to look at here, but I'm glad I'm in the car.

One thing that has struck me is the billboards. Vivid signs teach people basic truths: rape is wrong, latrines should be used, AIDS is real. On one level it is discouraging that this stuff has to be taught, but ultimately these signs represent real hope. The war is over, and people are ready to make life good again. That's not something to be discouraged about.
