Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 1305518, member: 1452"] Tell you what, I'll trump both you and BPO. I grew up in that neighborhood 40 years ago. The area is no better or no worse than it ever was. Thornden is fine by day and iffy by night and has been this way for at least 40 years. Run into the wrong crowd and you are in trouble. And housing has been getting broken into in this neighborhood since I was a kid. The combination of economically disadvantaged neighborhoods within spitting distance of the university, a relatively wealthy student base with lots of desirable goods and frequent times when houses are empty makes for tempting targets. BTW, you can also get mugged on the quad or in Walnut Park or on Comstock or Euclid or the Mount or the cemetary or almost any other place on, or near, campus. Thornden does not have a monopoly on that by any means. [/QUOTE]
