[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 120978, member: 1944"] [url=http://youngstown.areaconnect.com/crime1.htm]Youngstown Crime Statistics and Crime Data (Youngstown, OH)[/url] I deliver here. Its a fine town. Although most of what Tieguy says I agree with, but 1. I always make eye contact. Windows to the soul, you got to know what they are thinking, and you have to watch them or you wont know 2. I always try to deliver early because after three they are getting up, but commercial first........ I dont depend on the cops coz there arent enough, and they dont come if you call, at least not fast enough. If there is a crowd, I just drive on by. Tomorrow is another day, and God willing I will still be here. The kids walk on cars on their way home from school, and the cops just follow with their flashers on till all are off the Main rd.............. The convienince stores lock their doors when school dismisses, so no delivering then. The last guy got stabbed twice, but UPS says he did it to himself, I dont know but I never sit and sort. Its stupid, unless I am in one of my few safe places. Christmas used to be the worst, but they seem to know we dont have cash anymore. I would rather have 4 g in cod money tho than what I carry. At least they might leave me alone if they got big bucks. But I have never had a problem I couldnt drive away from. I was on a street one night when a 5 yr old got hit in a drive by, I drove by. He lived. All day long I see the DEA with their vests in the same cars every day. Since I am up hi, I can see in their cars, I know a few of them, but when they are in an area, I know not to be there for awhile. And the saddest part is there are some really great people, hard working, just cant make enough to get out. And especially the old people, prisoners in their homes. Where I live I rarely lock my doors, where they live I cant even leave a pkg in the door as they are all locked. And if I need a sig, I have to wait for them to find their keys to unlock the door. Really makes you appreciate what you have after a day in a hood. We took a way motivation, when we gave them all money to sit home and not even try, Thats the inner city of Youngstown, generation after generation of people who never had to even try, And the people who have kids who shouldnt have a hamster. These are not the leftovers from the steel mills that shut down, those hard working people moved on and survived. The good people in the area, may not be the brightest among us but some of the nicest, but have been overthrown by guns and drugs, and thugs. I had 8 kids under 7 on my bumper and not a parent in sight. I had to get out and make them get off five times one night, before I could count them all in the mirror, and camera. I finally showed them I had a camera (my back up device) and that they were all on it and I was going to give it to the police and they would all go to jail, if they didnt get off my bumper.
