le, WHOA, having lived behind the Hyvee on 6th for 3 years,I can say that we have a great neighborhood. I know most of my neighbors and there are about 15 kids on this block who play at my house on a very regular basis. We haven't seen drug dealers here or had any thefts, so I'm not sure what you're getting at, but that is certainly a mischaracterization of our neighborhood. As a matter of fact, its a GREAT place for young families.

Or just wipe masquara(sp I know) around your eyes and lips, alter your voice. Maybe black robbers should do that with foundation or blush too. If either one got cought they would look like a cross between a racoon and a clown.

Hmmm============uh … because he robbed a liquor store?Sorry, but statistically-speaking, it was an overwhelming, if not exclusive, choice. Sorry, again, but couldn't you have written that description before you read past the headline? We ought to be upset that this is true, but we apparently don't care much.
