Gosh, I just hate hearing about things like this. I'm lived in Northeast PA all my life with my husband of 37 years, 4 children and now, 11 grandchildren and it's things like this that remind me how much times have changed. Does anyone remember a simpler time when you knew your neighbors and felt safe?
I fancy the same feelings, Agnes. There was a time you could leave your front and back doors unlocked and you always knew you were fine. Nowadays, I just don't feel safe, even behind a locked door.
I'm so glad you tol me about this, Agnes. I'd like to complain too. I also think that crime has gotten worse too.
Much I feel same way. I move my family here yeasr ago and watch it get bad fast too. If police were good here the city be better.
Rocky Ridge, WACO, and now this? The problem isn't crime, it's aggressive police forces. When you have to summon the SWAT teams to serve a summons, things can only get out of hand!
There's your problem right there! Forget blaming the cops... look at what's moving in here. It's the migration of all those Mexicans that are doing us in. Enough with the tax breaks for large families, Pennsylvania!!!! We're attracting immigrants like flies to roadkill!
Estaba un día sentado junto a su caña en la ribera! Con la vista dirigida hacia su límpida agua, cuando de repente vio hundirse el anzuelo y bajar hasta lo más profundo y al sacarle tenía en la punta un barbo muy grande!!!
What the...? Speaka de English, Juan!!! THIS is the problem with the Lehigh Valley... all the good, hard-working peop,e are being pushed out by these people. Stop letting your kids and grandkids watch shows like Diego and Dora the Explorer or you're only making it worse.
