    "Too long ago, I lived there to know what’s going on now I lived at Wayback in 1989. It was so long ago I can’t remember. I know it was a carnival at church down the street on 49th and Lancaster at a church parking lot."

    "I’ve lived here for two years. Frequent gunshots, property damage and open/daily drug deals. The neighbors who have been here for years are very sweet but the people who don’t live here who pass through cause trouble especially in the spring/summer. We mostly stay indoors past 6pm. "
