    "I wish we would have events and come together as a community because it has a lot of potential but unfortunately people around here don’t have the mentality at all. But other wise everyone minds there Buissness and stays out of the way so you’ll be fine so you won’t have anything to worry about. But we all need to get together in the East end and decide a lot of things for this community to fix a lot of issues and problem so we can work things out with everyone and everyone is happy and gets along very well and life could be way better in the East end.

    "Not a good neighbourhood to raise your kids here all the 15-20 kids are selling drugs. Honestly its too risky at this end of the town. All kidnappings and murders and killings of 17-18 y/o not a good area to live on. Norther connecticut is better if you want to move to Connecticut in a house. "

    "East End of Bridgeport, CT is VERY unsafe to live and raise a family. Do NOT believe folks advertising their property for rent lying saying, “quiet street or neighborhood” ALL LIES!!! Gangs, gunshots, car thefts/break-ins, murders, infestations of mice, rats, water rats, drugs, loud music from someone car during day/late night and the person don’t care. No where to park your vehicle, on-street parking is terrible on Bishop Ave on corner of Stratford Ave. Your vehicles will be TOWED during snow season!!! This is the reason I moved from that HORRIBLE neighborhood. DO NOT INVEST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD!!!! #LessonsLearned"
