My friend was recently held up at knifepoint by two young hispanic males last week on 30th Street and Landis. It was around 10pm and she had just enjoyed a fun dinner and desert at Heaven-Sent Deserts. Fortunately she had the presence of mind to swing her (very large) handbag at the guy and scare them off. She was pretty shaken up but happy not to have been cut or robbed.
Josh, you’re right, this neighborhood is not safe. I know about this incident and a string of other home break-ins/robberies in the last few months.
To make matters worse, I hear they have even closed down the Community Police Store-Front on 30th Street. I don’t know why we are seeing this surge in crime right now but a lower police profile is certainly not helpful.
