It is a food desert. I would like to see more fresh market options, less violence and cleaner streets.

I like the park district in Westpullman. It is a very good place to relax and play as a child. Other than that there neighborhood itself is very dangerous. Even though it may look like a nice place but the residents there are something to watch out for. The people are the most vicious, evil, and secretive people.
