Recent Arlington murders

[jluv]

Yep that sounds like Division St.

I actually like Arlington and hang out there a lot. I also don't think its as bad as the reputation DFWM gives it.

I actually agree with this. It's not as bad as some say. Heck, the OP lives in Fort Worth, so why is he worried about Arlington? There are parts of Fort Worth that are WAY worse than any part of Arlington (or Irving) could ever dream of being. Then again, I love Fort Worth for its nice parts. That's why I be like "Fuck Dallas!!!".

Meh, whatever. I grew up there, and I like it there. My hood is nice and quiet, with the exception of that one house. Which, is about to be a non issue, according to the cops that patrol our beat. We are kind of tucked away, so no through traffic I suppose helps with what you said about crime of opportunity.

If I were to move, it would only be to one of three places. A loft in Downtown Dallas or FW, our ranch, or a beach. Since I have kids, a loft downtown isn't realistic, so it's either going to be the ranch, or a beach.

I might as well have made this post myself. 100% agreed and with the same thought process about Arlington and where else I'd live. I'm perfectly happy in my non baller non McMansion in the neighborhood I want to be in.

Why would you move there knowing that? Maybe you shouldn't have moved there in the first place. Desoto was nice in 1984, but turned while we were there. We didn't know just how bad it was until we left.

He lived there in his younger years, i.e. before being able to afford moving away and into a house (like he has done).

Hopefully your neighborhood stays decent. The one I grew up in was very nice all through my childhood. Sadly, it's pretty trashy now. Heck, the neighborhood we're in right now was pretty nice 5-10 years ago, but its declining rapidly right before our eyes.

It's been there since 66, so hopefully nothing changes. My parents old neighborhood looks about the same. I think SE got the worst of things after Katrina.
