    "This part of the neighborhood is ok, but other parts your dodging bullets. It’s pretty quiet for the most part until it gets warm and then they bring out the dirt bikes. But for the most part people mind their business and my neighbors are cool"

    "some blocks are tragically blighted, others are like Cedar Park, others are like Elmwood Park & some are more like Cobbs Creek. A lot of blocks are run down & bleak looking & some are nice . It's a mixture of gritty urban decay, tragic, industrial, and standard urban work class pre-war. There's parks & lots of trolleys & cheap grocery stores in the cut. It's a mixed vibe "

    "The row homes were all built from the same blueprint, but they all have their own character. The neighbours seem to look out for each other. The children play, and the adults have cookouts. It really feels like home. "

    "There are trolley stops located throughout the neighborhood that make accessing Center City fairly easy. It usually takes 25-30 minutes to reach City Hall. They can be quite crowded during rush hour, however."

    "There used to be a special neighborhood. neighbors were neighborly, they look out for one another, clean the streets together, share special dish of food, a d nosey, which worked in out neighborhood. Some neighbors are watching everything and keep you abreast as to what going on. Now, the young people don't care or just ignorant about family cultures because too many broken families, babies raising babies and they are just a lost generation to care about any neighborhood. "
