This has been the worst day of the year and probably the worst in the past couple of years. I even saw the neighborhood drug dealers beating up a client........its these kind of days that remind me of the 80s and 90s.

Queens was quiet only a perp search, police activity and that huge bomb scare.

Yea.. Queens is typically a lot more quiet anyway though, at least from the looks of the newsmap, I usually only notice the occasional blip somewhere in Jamaica.

I think the Bronx IS getting better.. but not in a dramatic fashion. There are just very small and minute changes that will hopefully someday add up to a better area for all.
