ambridge is not exactly a walk in the park.. for the most part the people are nice, and older. but theres quite a few drunks/druggies out that way, I hear meth is pretty big, a friend of mine from mort. school works for ambridge PD and has done more than one rape cases also

Not saying any area in Beaver is a walk in the park, by day its decent, by night, it takes a life all of its own.

Problem is, if i had been listening, i would have probably heard this shot tonight, I mean heard it well.
Just one of the reasons I carry when ever I have to go anywhere biut work where it is an unwritten rule that one could get fired for it.

My sister works at a daycare about a block away from there.

Last year or so, there was a shooting in the Colonial bar on Merchant St., when she went into work the next morning, she found the gun used in that shooting on the stairs to the daycare.

Things aren't so good on my side of the river either. The county has gone to crap since I was a kid.

That was like 6 blocks from me and I think I heard it when I was walking the dog.

Town does take on a different personality after sundown.
