Email Address (optional): 
My Opinion is...:When I grew up in Homewood the neighbors looked out for each other, we were able to play on the streets and it was safe, no one was robbing your house or anything and we spoke and talked to each other. People now days dont even speak to their neighbors if they know the neighbors at all, we keep our kids in the house playing video games because we are afraid of what will happen to them, so I have moved to Penn Hills at least I dont hear sirens every night but you know what, my neighbors don't really speak, we all just go to work and then are back in our homes and our kids stay in the house playing video games. Only time we meet people is school events or church and then we still may not speak to each other. And that's Pittsburgh.
