WTF ! I would vacate the neighborhood since it seems the neighbors cannot appreciate what they have.
Germantown Ave. at E. Cumberland is not even close to Germantown. It’s closer to the Badlands. This is the anus of North Philly we’re talking about. It is another planet.
Only a Hurricane Katrina treatment will flush out PHL... and even then I’m not sure it can be fixed.
40% of the city is on food stamps.
And Obama doesn’t even have the decency to send his goons to help watch one of these places when trouble comes.
Philly proper or larger Philly?
Is there such a place (non-criminal part of the country)?
City. Suburbs are nice - not counting their proximity to Philly.
Tell ‘em’’ Kearny’’. My older brother managed the Shop-Rite in our old home down right across the Passaic River from Newark for years and the stories he told me. Carloads of blacks loading up, some paid, some shop-lifted most always bitchin’ about having to travel so far and always putting it down to ‘;’whitey don’t want to come to Newark’’.
The police were unsuccessful protecting this man’s assets because the police did nothing.

If I lived in the area, I’d loved to have made it so he wasn’t alone. Somehow. He should reach out. People should reach out when things get this bad.
Celebrate diversity.
In the 'hood, it's the Arab and Indian shop owners who are civilized and law-abiding.
“I suppose this is what insurance is for.
I hope he had a good policy.”
I can’t imagine any insurer touching a “business” in that cesspool.
Joisey... what exit?
Youre a good man Laz.
