When was this web article released? I agree that article was just hoping something would land amongst high winds. I dont even see a date stamp on it. All it really ends up being is a writers opinion with a few facts sprinkled in. We all know Philadelphia is a tough city with high crime but im not sure how that catapults it to the list. And is 18 to 1 student to teacher ratio that bad? The steel mill in Butfalo closed ions ago, old hat for sure. How about saying Charlestown, SC is a bad place to live because there is hurricanes, torrential downpours, wicked hot summers with the accompanying sand fleas eating you alive? Grabbing at straws for an article, IMO.
