    "I’ve been living here for 2 years now & it feels like a safe neighborhood being next to the hospital, patrol cars are everywhere. For the months of June and July the nights are loud bc of people nonstop setting off fireworks, but it’s whatever. The train horn is so loud. Lots of ice cream trucks coming by in the afternoon, so your kids in luck if he’s got a sweet tooth "
