With all due respect I am suprised you didn't break this earlier there were signs of this atleast two weeks ago. And I say that considering how close you are in proximity.

Oh it shows big time here and PLENTY of other posts. I'd go on a limb to say it's not simply a "classist slip". I do however appreciate your honesty. But once again it shows some of the attitudes people have about the people they live around is sickening...The divide continues...

I didn't say it was unwelcome wasder. I asked a question, if you didn't have an answer you couldve easily let it slide. I'm not trying to slice anything.

The school has been open longer than it was closed, there's also Nelrak around the corner, P.S.56 down the block and a playground across the street. What's so different about this school that one thinks it will put pressure for increased police presence?

So parents have been taking their kids there for years, but now that it's inhabited by a different school police presence should automatically increase?! That place has been a daycare center for years as well as Nelrak around the corner.

Crime was on the decline in the neighborhood before gentrification. Actually this applies to the city as a whole since the early nineties. Is gentrification a good thing? That depends on who you talk to, there are ALWAYS two sides.

Thank you What for being honest. These stories about CH are always the same...murder ave, blah blah blah. I find it funny when ppl talk about fulton they always like to look over the longstanding businesses like the country house, the various barbershops, fish & crustaceans, golden krust,etc...and also look over some of the newer businesses like LOX, Sisters Hardware, the clothing store right next door to the countryhouse, etc. Just because it doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean it doesn't exist...

3.50 for a rice crispy treat?! Please!! Diverse is what dekalb used to be when there was...the korean mini market(previously owned by white residents), Cellars, a bike shop, magazine store(bobs..still there under new ownership),sporting good store, alibi bar, two steps down, elly's, cinos italian restuarant, merkens diner,a hardware store, video rental, doctors office, pharmacy, beauty salon, elly’s, pizza shop, barber shop, butcher, antique shop, Sheilas(red bamboo), chinese restaurant, real state office, liquor store, hat store, and clermont lounge ALL located on Dekalb. Now there wasn't higher end spots as you call them but I don't think diversity is just contigent on having that...Yeah I wish some of the closed storefronts would be utilized on fulton but I have no problem at all with the businesses that are currently here and would have no problem if more of them opened up.
I also dont have a problwm with dekalb as the way it is, I was just stating the truth. I really have a problem with the way ppl look down on the businesses on fulton street because they don't neccessarily appeal to them. I'm sorry to tell you but there is no drastic change coming to fulton street anytime soon.
