    "There should be trackers in all children’s watches so that way if they do you happen to wander off we will know where they are.. I also think that the city of Salem should try to keep their streets and sidewalks more clean by hiring more people to maintain it"

    "Decent neighborhood, busy street traffic though. Lots of families with younger kids and we all lookout for each other in times or crisis, or in need of a cup of sugar or an egg. "

    "This neighborhood suffered from crime and neglect in the 1980's. A huge coordinated effort on the part of the City, schools, churches, and the neighborhood association was started in 1987 and is still ongoing. Crime dropped 27% and neighbors became reacquainted with each other and the charm of the older home neighborhood was restored. "

    "I have lived in Salem my entire life and this house since 2004. This area is improved so much over the years and a lot since we moved here. We have been here 8 years and have had no trouble at all. There is been a little in the neighborhood but not that much especially compared to 10 years ago."
