    "I live near this neighborhood. It's very calming, but I have heard that there is some petty crime at times. It's within walking distance of the town of Carrboro, and has a nice small town feel about it. It's right near the old Johnny's Bait shop which has now become a cafe of sorts. It is also near a nice cafe called The Looking Glass Cafe, as well as the Carrboro Town Hall and Park across the street where a number of neighborhood festivals are held. Great neighborhood, but I am not sure about young children on that particular block which seems to be populated by singles and retirees."
