Well put!
Judy F "Mary" wrote in message . com... "Judy F" wrote in message et... I didn't even notice how old the building looked! The caption said it was a brownstone, and some of them are really old! Judy F Until I read the caption I thought maybe it was in Europe. I find old places like this so poignant for some reason. Perhaps all the lives (human, canine, feline, etc.) that have passed through them. |

This is where I live now- it was built in 1911 and is in a
neighborhood *full* of gorgeous brownstones in NY. I love it. :-) Whoaa. That's awesome. How many s.f. living space do you have? It looks huge. I like our house, and will never move. But it sure does lack character. The kind that your apartment has. You know what I mean. |

My house was built in 1947 which, for Phoenix, is considered pretty old. But there are various sections of town, historic districts, where the houses are much older usu. around 1920-1940. Whereas most people are envious of someone who gets abrand new house, I always get that feeling when I hear of a house older than mine. How many rooms does your apt. have?

Yeah but location is what I would worry about? If the neighborhood is going
down hill it is the perfect place for gangs and other nasties to come in and take over. Yes, crime is everywhere but I'd rather live in a newer house where it is a bit safer. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "MacCandace" wrote in message ...

down hill it is the perfect place for gangs and other nasties to come in and take over. Yes, crime is everywhere but I'd rather live in a newer house where it is a bit safer. I don't think it matters. These older neighborhoods often have residents who are really into keeping the 'hood up. Encanto, Coronado, Willo--those historic districts have homes worth half a million dollars. They're beautiful. Then look at Chandler/Gilbert...all new homes...and the gang problem there is enormous. My friend moved her kids to Payson to get away from Gilbert but it's too late, one of her kids is already screwed up. I don't think you can get very far away from gang activity in the greater Phoenix area. I work in north Scottsdale, very ritzy, as you know, and one of my coworkers, who lives about a mile from where we work at 92nd and Shea, had a shooting right in front of her house. One of the neighbors blew some guy's head off in broad daylight in the street and my coworker's little 8 year old daughter was right outside when it happened and then the body laid in the street for hours while the police investigated so all the neighbor kids saw it. And there was a fatal shooting yesterday at 90th St. and Shea, as you probably heard, in the Pier 1 parking lot. You can't get away from violence in Phoenix. My neighborhood, where the homes are 50+ years old, is no worse than Scottsdale or Gilbert.
