Until I was 12 I lived in Folsom. After that, until I was 18 I lived in Boothwyn. The Chester I remember, and we have to go back to the 1970's/Early 80's was a hellhole. Now, Chester-Upland School District is one of the worst academically performing school in the commonwealth. Crime in Chester is off the charts. The city and the school district are broke and in debt - typical for a Democratic controlled city.
I get the impression that all of the good people in Chester left long ago or are unable to move because they are cowering in their homes in fear.
Geez, I moved away from Boothwyn (Chichester) when I was 18 to go to college and I only occasionally visited until my parents immigrated to FL. Chichester wasn't anything close to Chester, but still a rough place to grow up.
HEEHEEHEE,
Upland Garage boys are still in business. Still stealth 1%, still maintain the neighborhood.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I can’t explain. LOL
