Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 2310302, member: 2766"] This is great to see and everything, but until they either move the homeless shelters it's not a great area to live. I have lived at 401 S. Salina St (the old Dey Brothers building) for a couple years now, but we are moving out in December. My truck has been broken into twice in the past 6 months and my girlfriends car was stolen from Jefferson St (right before Bank Alley) last week. Enough is enough. Bank Alley looks like a scene from the Walking Dead Monday - Friday. A month ago when I was walking my dog I came across a young girl probably about 20 totally passed out with her pants off in one of the door entrances on Bank Alley. I tried to help her by waking her up since all sorts of shady people walk down that alley and I didn't want anything worse to happen to her. Come to find out she was a hooker and had just shot up (i saw the needles in her purse while i tried helping her search for her phone) and that's why she was basically unconscious. I can't walk out of my place without constantly being harassed for money. It's great to see all this development, but instead of spending on people to come by and give parking tickets, they should focus more law enforcement in that area (tons of drugs being sold) and especially at night when there is constant vandalism and theft going on. There are definitely perks of downtown living. The festivals are fantastic. Last week we walked down to the Italian Fest down the street and then you have all the ones down in Clinton Sq. It's always nice being able to walk out your door and be withing a 5 minute walk of countless dinner options. Weekend brunch has been the trendy thing to do. Almost every place has at least a 30 minute wait when you try to go to brunch on the weekend. Overall it was a great experience and i'm happy I have been able to do it, but i'm about ready to have my own garage, and backyard for my dog to play in. If it wasn't for the crime we would have probably stayed though. [/QUOTE]
