I have lived in full view of the intersection of cotton and fleming for the past eleven years and there is never a dull moment. It was quiet when the bar was shut for a while after a guy got killed there but now that it reopened there is usualy some noise from that corner. But not as much as before operation sunrise a few years ago when the cops made their presense known, that cleared out a lot of the drug dealing and the constant parade of thumper cars. I cant complain too much, when I had roomates we had many parties that were very loud and sometimes turned into downhill scootscate races at three in the morning and no one ever called the cops although I think we did drive out my next door neighbor. Now that i'm married with a three year old some times the neighorhood annoys me and I wish I lived in Mt Airy where the kid goes to school but we will probably stick it out here.
