So I spent my youth (pretty much up until I was 19) in Lansdale. Graduated from North Penn. After school I moved to Perkasie with my dad and been there since. Every now and then I'll either take a drive through L-Dale to relive some memories, drive past friend's houses, or need to pass through to get somewhere. Over the years it's gradually gotten worse. First it just got more crowded but that was followed by a guy killing his daughter in Hatfield, a shooting last year, drug problems out the ass, and most recently, this:

I just don't know what to make of it anymore. I don't see the problem going away, either. The whole Lansdale/Hatfield/Quakertown area is a highway to dumps like Norristown in the west, Philly to the south and Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton to the north.
