Description
After 9pm, the entire block has people out smoking weed. Its dark, nothing but porch dwellers. I don't feel safe walking this block nor would I ever ever have a guest walk around here after 9pm. I'm sure there is drug dealing going on here.

They did come around a few weeks ago and asked neighbors to signed a petition so that they could have a block party for their kids going back to school. I signed it.
I didn't realize this meant smoking weed in the street and blasting rap music (with unsuitable lyrics for small kids) was part of it. I won't be signing their petition next year.

neighbors. The area is full of very friendly residents - old/ new and diverse - who are invested in the area. You see growth everywhere around us. But there are a couple of PHA homes (not all) that are a concern, which has been brought to PHA's and the police's attention, from what I understand. It has gotten noticeably better. But the residents, unfortunately, are a bit inconsiderate of their neighbors when it comes to noise and children who are unattended and they do seem to have some seedy visitors who come late at night, block driveways/streets (often on Dorrance), blast music, talk loudly out in the street - sometimes for an hour or so, etc. Many of the visitors drive very high end cars (Cadillacs, Infinities) with tinted windows - so you can't see who's inside, making them intimidating to approach. The cops are usually very helpful at clearing them, when necessary. This used to be an every week occurrence - but over the last year or so, it happens more like once every couple of months (if that). It can just be periodically disruptive for everyone sleeping on a work night. Living in the city, you're going to find issues in every neighborhood. All things considered, I feel safe on my street and have the sense these issues are definitely improving. And I love being so close to center city. Hope this is helpful!
