My grandmother bought this house in 1990, when I was just fice years old. I have lived here off and on since then. The people are friendly, and there isn't much crime considering we are centrally located.

There is not alot of crime around this neighborhood and if there is we don't put attention to it since it doesn't impact us. We too focused in school that we hardly put attention to anything outside school.

There are many stores here that are in great business. For example, stores like H-E-B in my neighborhood is doing extremely well, it is always busy and everyone can get what they need there. Even the family owned businesses do well here like a local restaurant called Spanky's. Being there a few times, I always recall that it is almost always a full house and the customers always seemed satisfied with their meal.
