'Think' Explores A Place Called Jubilee, A Dallas Neighborhood In Transition

Lara Solt

The cost of living poor can be staggering: Racking up interest on a payday loan, working for minimum wage, paying fees to cash a check, and eating healthy when groceries are hard to find. 

ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº is exploring these issues through the Jubilee Park neighborhood in Dallas. This hour, as part of ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôºâ€™s  initiative, we talked with Courtney Collins, who reported the series, and Ben Leal, CEO of Jubilee Park Community Center.
