    "I've lived in Third Ward for four years now. It has changed a lot, and i think it will continue to become more gentrified. Yes, there still are a lot of gun shots heard throughout the month, but i've never heard of any being fired at innocent by standards... i've enjoyed living here, and love the history of the area, and the people i've lived by who have been hospitable, kind, and courteous."
