    "It's not unique. It was a nice neighborhood many ages ago. The older generation is being taken over by younger crowds that to not maintain the upkeep of the homes. The city is doing its best with the introduction of charter schools to help our minority students. Several sections are crime and drug ridden. Would not recommend for families. "
