    "I lived in Lansdowne for most of my life. My grand pop bought my house brand new so over the years there has been many changes (80+years). The taxes are awful and the school district isn’t what it use to be. There are many Victorian homes that are beautiful. Lansdowne is a pretty town but I honestly feel uncomfortable to walk outside in the dark. "

I have lived in Upper Darby for 9yrs it’s almost as bad as philly the kids are horrible and so are most parents I rather relocate then to deal with how ratchet Upper Darby has become it’s sad because it was once a beautiful place when I was a kid but it’s nasty and disgusting now "
