James - I lived in Philly from 87-93 and went to Temple, and it saddens me that this city, that my grandmother still lives in and raised her family (my father) has eroded into this. I haven't been back since 2001 and honestly, living up here in the PNW has spoiled me and I haven't heard much about this, probably because I just haven't seen it on the news, but I haven't been looking for it. How Bad Is It? and is it primarily in the poor areas of Philly proper, or does it spread to the outlying areas as well?
