I second the sending of the troops. Only - shoot and no questions asked..

I think Pooh and Casper are English(ebonic)teachers at the local highschool. Look at the crime stastics. That says it all. Never admit to a mistake, own up to a crime, and blame everyone else. 200 years is way too long. I appreciate the hard working people that do live there but live in fear of mental idiots.

I stumbled on this article and found the articles interesting and not surprising. Basically the children need a COMMUNITY CENTER, maybe Church Activities, the YMCA, PAL, someone to look up to. I have had the opportunity to correct a few who was using bad language; the response I got was "sorry", "excuse me".

I grew up in Edgemoor in the 60's. What a difference a little time makes.
When I lived there, it was a safe, close-knit community. I remember trick or treating, playing on Bedford Drive, having a good time.
Guess I made it out before the crap hit the fan. Too bad, it was a nice place then.

I grew up in Edgemoor Gardens in the 60's too...it was home & didn't have the problems it appears to have now...I lived on South Cannon Dr. hung out with Sis, Pat H. & a bunch of other good kids...

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO EDGEMOOR GARDENS??? What makes a place a home (community) is the people...When I grew up in Edgemoor in the 60's...on Sou. Cannon Dr. it was a good clean decent family neighborhood...people got along...watched out for one another...it was safe to walk around the neighborhood day or night...It was clean (litter free) had parks & playgrounds for the kids to play in...the houses were taken care of..owners lived in them (few renters) so they showed pride in their home...Those memories shall always be with me.
