If I could do it all over I again I would still live in this area. One thing I can say is that I never had any bad problems my time in this area which was all of my 18 years. Bad things may occur everywhere and if it wasn't for this area I wouldn't have had the same opportunities I had or even met the people I met. So no I would not want to live anywhere else n the country. I love my city and I love my neighborhood.
