    "June and July you will hear fireworks pretty much all the time at night so I would stay away from this place if you want peace and quiet and the neighbors dog doesn't shut up across the street when they let him out"

    "I live in upper south side. It’s really convenient because I’m right off of 81 and 5 min from the Scranton expressway. There’s a grocery store, a CVS, and a dunkin just a few blocks away. But if you go 5 blocks down you’re really in south side and it’s pretty sketchy. So I stay away. "
