Very nice! I like how they pretty much line up with the red declining areas on my map. Shows that I did a pretty decent job.

The Northside looks pretty good to me, maybe a green buffer zone in Manchester south of Liverpool, but it's not a big deal.

Good job with the map! I'm so impressed by the maps made by you and the one from other poster who showed the growth. Very cool what you can do with google.

I like how you put a tiny little stretch of Blue on Penn and Penn Circle W. Mostly due to that one apartment complex, I assume? Penn Plaza I think it's called. I don't know about the actual crime stats specific to those 2 blocks, but it definitely feels like an area of Penn Ave that got an extra sprinkling of the hood.

Haha ah no... Look I still think Hamlet Place has a present crime element, yet due to AA's photo tour, the documented crime, it being listed as transitional in the PHLF Wilkinsburg map, and all these revitalization & gentrification threads/articles that Hamnett Place is iffy. Hamlet Place as well as Upper Central, & Singer Place all have a crime element, but at no time of day dangerous... Like the southern section of Highland Park, they have more riff-raff and sketchyness (partially due to their location) than a safe neighborhood should. So all that aside, one person is not the reason why Hamnett Place, Upper Central, Singer Place aren't included on the map or list...

[quote]i still love the idea that it's not safe to walk through the wilkinsburg business district in broad daylight though. [quote]
Also, where on THIS page does it state that Wilkinsburg's bussiness district is unsafe during the day... Sometimes I think my past post that have been revised are thrash... I typically admit when I'm wrong like no place in da Burgh is striat up dangerous by day.
Then agian not all crime happens at night, and gang members are active during the day (for instance I saw a gang member off a music video shot in Elmore Square on Center Ave today). So when a non resident walks through, Frankstown Ave, Homewood, Centre Ave/Webster Ave/Whylie Ave of the Hill Distrct, or Penn Ave, Wilkinsburg one can't do the same things as in Walnut St Shadyside, Forbes Ave/Muarry Ave SQ Hill, or even E. Carson St onthe Southside.
