i live in the area as well, and have to say, i'm really starting to think it's going downhill. with the assault at 13th & Moore this past week, the addicts i see walking around all the time anymore on the streets, etc....may be time to get out!
You better put your sale sign up right of way!!! Interset rates are Down,you'll sell FAST!!!! NOT!!! LOL.... Them junkies been there for 20 years now, the junkies parents died 2 yrs ago or so next to the bar. now they hang in there. I'm sure if we all call the 4th dist. we can clean that up in no time.there not much of a threat.

This murder suicide was not about drug addicts, it was about domestic violence and mental illness. The woman, Kate who was killed was a very hard working , friendly, outgoing person. She worked a few jobs to keep going and was renovating her house with her boyfriend.

If anyone here goes to August BYOB at 13th and Wharton, Kate was a waitress there. They closed for a few nights this week out of respect for her.

Please don't smear this poor girls death with talk about addicts and junkies. Her boyfriend, who apparently had problems, is the one to blame. He's the one who forced her family to cremate their daughter because he shot Kate in the head.

Teahead...
Relax...we're not talking now about the murder suicide victims. That was in relation to how we got on the subject of how the area seems to be in trouble....this situation not being related to drugs, but there are so many other drugs/prostitution related problems in the area, it's starting to make me feel like it's not the best place to raise a family.

Ducky-
We ARE talking about the same crew....I know what you're talking about right on 12th & Mifflin. Husband keeps saying that the cops probably don't do much to these people because to them they seem harmless....if they want to kill themselves so be it..>BUT, I think they need to be put away! How many times can the cops be called on these people! It's leaving me feel very unsafe.
