nah

yeah but it's very likely though. in a couple of days a good portion of these people will be visiting elderly, adolescent and immunocompromised family members for the holidays. pretty weird time to be around a large gathering of people in close quarters.

uh yeah they do. I got a ticket for turning right on a red with a no turn on red sign. cop made a uturn, hit his lights and sped down on me. he was like wow, right in front of me, you do that. was i wrong? yes. do i see more flagrant traffic violations every day in front of cops in which motorist don't get pulled over? yes. is the cop that pulled me over the same one that lets other motorist do whatever? unknown lol. but yeah it does still happen. this was on the alameda, making a turn right turn onto 33rd.

move as quick as possible. a meth explosion in a rowhome is really bad. and more than likely they are up while you sleep for work so it could happen then.

probably. belvedere, echodale and frankford all kinda get jumbled in my mind. i thought frankford ran up to walther.

that area should be ok, I lived not to far from there before. it's always good to scope the neighborhood/house out for a few weeks at different times of the day. with you planning on playing drums, I'd check to make sure you adjacent neighbors aren't super elderly, graveyard shift workers that need sleep in the daytime/afternoon, or a family with young babies. as far as i know the houses aren't super spaced our so noise can be a problem.

What street off of frankford? below belair belair rd id personally look elsewhere. in between walther and belair is pretty ok if you want a neighborhood vibe that might still involve someone stealing your lawn mower if its not locked up or checking your car door handles if you park on the street. If you want walkable nightlife, there is none. If you want a semi quiet neighborhood that you could raise a kid in, it's kinda ok for that. If it's just you and your dog and you want away from a busy city life its perfect.

The area has a mix of old homeowners that have been there for ever, younger homeowners that were able to buy a house before inflation flipped the housing market, and new buyers that have to pay 250-350K for a house that was 175-225k just a few years ago. all in all its not a bougie area and is working class to the point youll have some great neighbors and some not so great peppered in.
