One of these weaknesses is the stigma that is associated with the East End area of Houston. Although once explored into greater detail and the strengths are found the area can be seen as a place for growth and opportunity. Unfortunately, upon initial name recognition instant judgements are made about the community which result in the hesitation of potential entrepreneurial investors. With such hesitation, the expansion of businesses in the community is slow-moving and therefore creates a slow increase, if any, of commerce in the area. Ironically, the East End District is located closely to major centers of higher education, however a weakness that is prevalent within the community is the low levels of education for the residents of the area. This in turn creates a difficulty in finding people that have the training necessary to be a desirable employee. It limits the areas of skill and labor in which the residents of the community can be hired into. Another weakness in this community is the high amount of residents whom do not speak English. This creates a language and cultural barrier further dividing the residents of the East End community and not allowing for a community that can come together as a whole. Another disadvantage the East End community has is the actual age of the area. Historically speaking the community has deep roots and is established, however much of the area is weathered and aged and this effects the roadways, water and drainage systems of the areas. With these highly important systems that need to function correctly it effects the businesses as well as the residents of the community. While the structure of the landscape is important in keeping with the functionality of the community, appearance is also a major factor. Since

Now, a normal sized town contains fast-food joints, supermarkets, malls, and superstores, but a small town lacks that appeal. The small-town could be the most beautiful landscape known to man, but lack the necessary luxuries in life that a typical American would benefit from. Carr and Kefalas make this statement that emphasizes the town’s lack of appeal, “Indeed the most conspicuous aspects of the towns landscape may be the very things that are missing; malls, subdivisions, traffic and young people” (26). The authors clearly state that they realize that towns, such as the Heartland, are hurting because of the towns’ lack of modernization. For all intents and purposes, the town’s lack of being visually pleasing is driving away probable citizens, not only the native youth, and possible future employee’s away from a possible internship with the town. The citizens with a practice or business hurt from the towns inability to grow up and change along with the rest of the world, yet the town doesn’t realize what bringing in other businesses could potentially do for their small town.
