    "The drug and prostitution problem. It’s really getting out of control. I hate when the children are getting out of school and they have to see a lot of the foolishness while walking home. "

    "It’s close to downtown, and so there is plenty space to walk your dog. There is plenty sidewalk space to you don’t have to pick where you walk. In the summer the water fountains are running and the dogs love to play in them. "
