Vertigo58 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Have him join Haif or at least tap in on ocassion to get to know some of the long time residents. I find that most newcomers to the area woud love to know some background of the vicinity and especially where not to hang around. I personally would appreciate the same courtesy and advice if I were to relcoate any where in the world. Once in a blue moon I run into couples that have just moved in and they love to chit chat of the area and its history. Its also a great way to get to know your neighbors for all practicle purposes. PS, its Sidney street if I'm not mistaken and that sounds more like Eastwood area. Welcome new neighbor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHiPs Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My cousin just bought a new townhome on Sydney...what are your opinions on this area?Welcome to the East End!The area is slowly but surely getting better...real estate investors and TIRZ is helping revitalize near and around the area. Gentrification continues. There's crime, but residents must do more to help reduce the rate. I have noticed more police presence in my area and that's a good thing. I see a positive effort to improve the infrastructure and reinvest in the surrounding area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
