That's funny, Ross, because a friend of mine was just telling me the

Funny. Maybe my memory is giving out, but I'm almost positive that my son,
born in 1987, spent a good portion of his tender years in that dangerous
drug-infested space, and as I recall, really enjoyed it.
well, here's another data point to consider...
back in september 2006 g.w. miller iii wrote an article for
the daily news called 'west of eden'. it was all about our
neighborhood, and he gives us a vivid idea of the kids we
had in the hood, back in the 90s:
"Never did we have private development interest like we have
now," says the UCD's Brennan.
Barry Grossbach, a 36-year resident and three-time president
of the Spruce Hill Community Association, says the community
is indebted to Vladimir Sled for the changes that have
happened here since he was slain.
A Russian native known to his friends as Volodya and his
Swedish fiancee Cecilia Hägerhäll were walking home together
from their Penn research lab around 11 on Halloween night
As biochemists, they regularly worked long hours and often
checked on their experiments in the middle of the night.
Afterward they'd walk back to their home at 4405 Osage Ave.
Warned it could be dangerous, they chose to live there
anyway because it was close to work. It appealed to their
European sensibilities.
They were just around the corner from their home, standing
where thousands of costumed, candy-loving children had
scampered about only hours before, when a man jumped out of
nowhere and tried to steal Hägerhäll's purse.
