    "I know all the dogs in my area, when one gets out of the yard anyone who is available to help joins in. I’ve personally returned neighbors dogs that wandered in my yard to play with my dog. There are allot of sidewalks, most maintained, some not. There’s also allot of areas of nature walks to check out"

    "It is a true shame what this area of town has become... I grew up in 266 Sinnickson St and the area was wonderful back in those days... If the area was cleaned up from crime, etc. than I would actually think about living there again... I do have many fond memories of this home... "
