...and used needles, crack vials, garbage, filth, exhaust and sewer fumes, drug dealers, crack heads, hookers, homeless, muggers...hmm maybe you're the one thinking the city is back in 1955 vs 2008. Or do the murders of civilians and police officers alike not ring a bell with you?
Suburban schools may not always mean great, but city schools generally mean sh*tty.
And I conceded the cultural aspects of the city...great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live or raise kids there...at least not until Nutter's second term...
