[PRCo] Re: East End neighborhoods

[Harold Geissenheimer]

Greetings to Mark

Such nonsense.  To limit ones travels to the North Side

First the area near Allgheny Center is not one of Pittsburgh;s best.  
And the City View
project is poor.  But in general NS is OK as is west end.  Crafton is a 
nice boro
like Dormont.

Vast areas of the East End are OK.  Certainly between downtown & East 
Liberty.
You can ride the East Busway and go thru Squirrel Hill to Homestead and 
on to
McKeesport.

About Europe safety.  There is much graffiti and fare  evasion.  In  
Holland, they are
retoring the conductoirs to collect fares.  Does not sound like a crime 
free environment!
