In this area, crime is pretty existent and clearly noticeable. Walking around this area, there is always a hint of fear and caution because you never know what will happen. Police may come once in a while to monitor, however, that doesn't make the area any safer, if anything it makes it much more dangerous.

There isn't much of a variety of easily accessible stores in this area. Within proximity, there are a few small stores, a supermarket, and things of that sort. However, big company stores are seldom found in this area.

The education system is getting worse under the control of Governor Chris Christie, but the public school system shaped me and got me to where I am today.
