    "There’s typically a lot of foot traffic on sidewalks from people of all walks of life. Neighborhoods on the north side of Bethlehem are typically safe yet, still wouldn’t let children go off alone to explore. Always semi-heavy traffic just to be cautious of. I lived next to a park and a high school and so kids were always around and really weren’t troublesome."

I have already had cook outs and had some of the neighbors come over and talk to us about our cars and tell us that they have a nice car that they would like us to see . Also I love how people mind there business and I don’t have to worry about people arguing with me . We have a community watch ,to make sure our neighbor hood stays safe "
