    It may be a "bad area" now, but it will "become" what we, the local residents make of it. And I, for one, am a property owner who chooses to try and make a difference.

    I grew up on Parker Ave., and this area has always been lower "working class", at best, and it has definitely gone downhill. The number of burned out and abandoned houses around here is stunning. But hey - low property values means it's cheap to live here, hehe. I moved back to the area recently, and we'll see what happens. Even a bunch of decent people living in an area can't necessarily make it a good place to live - even a minority of trashy, selfish, lazy, and careless people - let alone the number of outright criminals around here - can make an area a bad place to live. Just look around at the amount of trash that just lays around in people's front yards. It's disgusting. All you can do is keep your own place decent. Even that can be scary, though - it's like you wouldn't want your house to look TOO nice from the outside - it'll attract the theives. Sad but true. One thing this place could for sure use is a few more street lights. I think there's ONE street light on Dearborn all the way from 10th to Michigan. ONE. But the city doesn't care - I guess this area is just pretty much written off as a lost cause. BTW - the "Hamiliton Avenue Massacre" was not technically in this neighborhood - Hamilton is about a mile the other side of Rural. Same neighborhood, really, but outside the stated boundaries.

    Map outline is wrong. It is showing the sout5h boundry as at New York street not Washingtron.
