There have been several murders this year in and around Ypsilanti......Kinda like the year we had last year in Kazoo.....

Virtually every urban area in America has an increased issue with urban gang and drug related homicides.
Baltimore had 45 last month alone.

I believe we have had this thread er ... conversation before regarding Kalamazoo and WMU's campus (or nearby).

A handful of folks were shot in Kalamazoo early this morning.

Yeah, those are injuries... no deaths. Keeping up with Ypsi ain't so easy!

Just another summer in America.

Ypsi is a grim, depressed town. My last girlfriend was enrolled up there as EMU and even on campus you would see some shady characters. Dorms seemed safe enough but off campus housing like a block away was crime central.

I'm from Adrian, and we here are struggling with gangs moving down from Detroit, same problem in Monroe.

Ypsi is great, I'd certainly rather be there than Adrian or Monroe
