Two shootings in two weeks at two restaurants in Homestead.

Made me think real hard about how badly I want to ever be in that area again. When I lived in Shadyside I went down there quite about.
It's funny how so many decent neighborhoods in the city border rundown areas with high crime. Squirrel Hill and Shadyside are decent places to live but two stop lights away is the riffraff of Homestead and Hazelwood.
Same story on the other side of Shadyside with East Liberty. So many of these real estate developers are doing their best to turn them into upscale neighborhoods but it's just not happening in my opinion. It's going to be a long time until the garbage is pushed out.

I guess I'm kind of ranting but it really kind of hit home that the same night of this last shooting my wife was with friends having dinner across the street from the crime scene.

Thoughts?
