Cool pics Albert. That's not how I expected you to look though.

I thought that you were more dark. from what you have said here you sometimes get angry at complecent whites (and rightly so) so I thought that you would be more dark.
but from what I see you are white (the american definition of it - whatever that means)

Actually I think the neighborhood looks ok.

Ok, the buildings look a bit dull and uniform but there's LOTS OF PARKING SPACE! (I already said that, didn't I?)

Actually I wouldn't mind living there. As long as there was absolutely no violence. (but from Albert's descriptions I gather this is not the case?).

My neighbourhood is far from Philly's worse... it's fairly average when it comes to appearance, crime, etc. but provost is kind of right... there really wasnt much better to take pictures of. I just took random photos as I walked down the street. Every block got a couple boarded up houses up here so I mean it's hard to get really nice looking pictures without the boarded up houses...

though to be honest... the one picture with the bball net (a6.jpg) I took only cause it looked shitty and kind of ****ed up to me cause all the bball courts for like two miles are ****ed up and all people got is **** like that on ****ed up garages.


thanks

Paiktis:

It's an alright neighbourhood. Kind of typical for philly. The people is mostly lower middle class and they dont like to cause problems. People still be dealing, smoking up, getting pregnant, and carrying guns, but on the whole it's alright. There was a mass murder in my apt building recently where some nut shot up his mom, his mom's boyfriend, and then commited suicide (or got shot by cops... i'm not sure what happened exactly). But that's typical for any city or even anywhere in America these days.

Hmm.. well if something like that happened here it would be on the news for like a week and would be very unusual.

People dealing only happens in 2 or 3 neighboorhoods in Athens which are considered the worst in the city and noone carries guns in the country unless he is a wanted criminal or something like that.

And where are these people BTW, Albert?

I see only empty streets.

With lots of parking space

Damn I should propably get some pics scanned to show how crammed my (former) neighborhood was.

It makes your streets look almost like a stadium

Urban culture judges based on your car, not on your house, since all houses are essentially the same anyway. Therefore money is put towards getting the 'sweetest ride'.
