That “general area” is surrounded by some dangerous areas and is not a long walk from any of them. Typically, junkies don’t rob people in their own toilet neighborhoods - - there’s no money in their own toilet neighborhoods - - so they take a quick hop to the Graduate Hospital, Naval Square, Fitler Square, Center City, Queens Village, Northern Liberties, or Art Museum neighborhoods.

Some “nice” neighborhoods, the thugs don’t go near lest their body is never found.
Girard Estates and Bridesburg, for example.

I don’t consider Girard Estates and Bridesburg to be “nice” neighborhoods. Lots of junkies and meth heads there, with many of the “normal” people missing teeth and having IQs below room temperature. Basically, much of Northeast Philly is like an urban version of “Deliverance.”

LOL; nice one! Surely you want to include the neighborhood where this happened in this list, don't you? Bella Vista is still home to that 1% of Italian-Americans who are into la cosa nostra.
