My stepson went there too for a couple years. I was never concerned about safety in Guadalupe. It was a stable community of Yaqui Indians families who had lived there for generations. (They dug up their historic cemetery to build part of Pointe S. Mountain). Poverty yes, but family and family values too. I used to go there to the Mex restaurants and when they built that little shopping center. I still have a serape I bought there 25 years ago. Never had a bit of a problem. It's been years since I've been there and maybe it has changed.

I have Mexican friends who were brought up there and it's true some lovely people do live there but they have their crime issues in there also. My twins were baptized at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church there.

Yeah, a lot of alcoholism and probably drugs now. It is strange driving through there - one of the most impoverished places in the U.S. right next to all that conspicuous consumption in Ahwatukee.

It's funny because my Mexican friend that grew up in Guadalupe lives in a bg beautiful home in Ahwatukee and her family still lives in Guadalupe.
