LOL, Anne!!

One of my co-workers moved to the suburbs from Pilsen just last year because a certain group of gangbangers decided that they were going to set up shop in her front yard!! Bold! [img]mad.gif[/img]

Sorry, but what does PITA stand for?

Not really. Like Anne I'm a Cincinnati native, and my moms family lives near Youngstown which is a really tame place.

PITA stands for pain in the "you know where".

Hmm...dosn't look like the first time something like this has happened

In the United States, Mattel, which makes Barbie, markets a Moroccan Barbie and sells a collector's doll named Leyla. Leyla's elaborate costume and tale of being taken as a slave in the court of a Turkish sultan are intended to convey the tribulations of one Muslim girl in the 1720s. "It's no surprise that they'd try to portray a Middle Eastern Barbie either as a belly dancer or a concubine," said Saadeh, adding that countering such stereotypes was one of his main aims in developing Razanne. Mattel didn't respond to repeated calls seeking comment.

My sister lives in Pilsen. I don't think of it as a dangerous place.

Heck no! We'll riot at the drop of a hat. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] Parts of Cincinnati still haven't recovered from the last one. [img]redface.gif[/img]

I'm 3 hours from New Orleans. Yes, the violent crime rate has dropped, but there are STILL places that you couldn't pay me to go to, day or night. The French Quarter around Bourbon Street after 11 is one of those places. Even the bowling alley where we go swing dancing is in a bad part of time where you do not linger around outside after the dancing is over.

I live in a very low crime area, and again, there are places that you couldn't pay me to go after dark. I'm not even comfortable going through some of those places in the daylight!
