   People say yes they can now: yes we can make the new Frankford Bus Terminal   
   into a trash heap by process of elimination. Read the NE Gleamer this week   
   where people are complaining first Kensington was all drugs and prostitutes   
   and now its Frankford.The whole article stated that the tv stations didn't   
   talk about the negative things going around the neighborhood but these   
   people in this article did. So the few people here who commented think   
   Philly is great do you? Truthfully you guys are either born with too many   
   endorphins and are lucky or the beer and drugs are kickin in . This city is   
   about as bad as could be. Air quality horrific , never before have I seen   
   such heavy air and bad air also. Crime , its a freaking joke. Neighborhoods:   
   Two types now, drug infested or still good.Cops. doughnuts, well I won't say   
   the next but except for the bike control , not much I can say positive   
   except there are lots of overweight police who couldn't find a criminal   
   unless he fell over one. Now I don't say that lightly. I would like to say   
   nice things but the way they solve crimes around here , forget about it.The   
   bike control has young spunky guys. I wonder how long it takes before the   
   air quality and other cops as role models make them the way of dinasours.   
   Again all you positive Philly role models for future ex New Yorkers , you   
   don't happen to go to Eagle Games do you? The only questions I have now , is   
   how in the heck do people figure this is a good town to live in and how is   
   this city going to support gov services in the future.
