Same here, except then we have the "South End" too. Same atmosphere, different ethnic group.
I know they cracked down here a while ago. That's when the signal went from nose pointing to waving. I'm also familiar with the car rushing crowds. I don't know if that still goes on around here. I HAVE had the road blocked in front of me before. On my own street, once it got really bad. That's when I figured it was time to find a new neighborhood. That old neighborhood is literally a ghost town in one area now with half a street of boarded up houses. Pretty quiet around there these days. Kind of nice to know some of the slumlords took it in the end. That was a little berg known as Rockville, Ct., actually a pretty interesting town if you study it's history at all. Once had 2 opera houses and it's factorys made the silk cloth for 2 presidential inauguration suits. Now a mere frazzle of it's former self.
