[quote=eavesdropper][quote=LAAFTERHOURS][quote=eavesdropper] …..The last time a Philly mayor tried to put the lid on loud, violent, destructive residents, it resulted in the firebombing of an entire West Philly neighborhood that left 11 persons (incl. 4 children) dead and over 60 homes destroyed….[/quote]

you referring to osage?[/quote]

The very one: The MOVE bombing in 1985. Despite the incredible vice grip in which John Africa and his followers held Philadelphia, and especially the neighbors/homeowners (in what was a well-established close-knit neighborhood prior to the MOVE-in), it still tops the list of all-time incredibly witless cluster-fucks.[/quote]

No kidding – I moved to Philly from Huntington Beach as a kid just before that went down. It left a great first impression on my family. Lets hope the current staff uses different tactics to rid the city.

I remember it well. It was an absolute disaster. The MOVE group were dangerous animals. So was the mayor and the police.

I have a second home in Philly.

There’s a lot of poverty there. Abandonned shell houses are common in Philly. It’s a dense city and 5 miles takes from one end of the city to the next. So I suppose disorder could move fast.

I was told police cameras were installed at many corners to deter drug dealing. They are marked by blue blinking lights and they seem to be working.

I wonder if there are unmarked police cameras in Philly.

Then, on the other hand, the millions of cameras in Britain don’t seem to have prevented the riots.

I remember in high school that roxborough was touted as a rough neighborhood but as I aged and got to know the city, I realized more and more those claims were a bit over the top. I cant believe they are attempting to gentrify Chester. They have stood up a casino there (of all places). We had to drive through there to get to the airport before the blue route opened. I give them an A for effort in trying the things they are doing.

Oh and before I forget, “Fly eagles fly, on the road to victory!”
