Well, eastern Arlington/Grand Prairie, which is not very far from this southern neighborhood is quickly descending into hood status, so it's a short trek for them.

Back when I was stationed at the now-defunct NAS Dallas in Grand Prarie, I used to live in Arlington.
South Arlington is, indeed, not the bad part of town.
But I hear from people in the area that all of Arlington is not what it used to be. It's going downhill.

Recommend that the homeowner buy a shotgun so he can shoot back.

Denton County just broke up a home invasion gang that ran a higher end elite club in Dallas. They would scan drivers licenses to I.D. people on the way in and then use that info to pick their victims. With the unknowing help of the DMV. Another one of those unintended consequences of the laws created by our all knowing lawyers that we elect over and over again.

It's true that Arlingon isn't what it used to be. Primary problem here is overdevelopment/overcrowding and a relatively high crime rate:

The makeup of the city has changed significantly since I moved here in 1999. Go figure.

In the full article it says one guy was white and the other was Hispanic. (I still am confused about how Hispanic got to be a separate race.)

I grew up in Arlington, don’t live there now, but my parents are still there. I remember when they had a big celebration as the population hit 50,000.
I grew up in a small town that is small no more. We used to streeet race on Park Row between Fielder and Collins and no one thought much about it. That was circa 1966.

Not a great part of Arlington. My brother used to live a few blocks from there about 15 years ago. It was going downhill then.

It's going downhill. Very sad. I lived there from 1977-81 on what was then the extreme north side (Washington Drive and Cooper) until graduating from HS. When my parents built the house in 77 that area was THE place to be. I was there two months ago and was shocked to see that our neighborhood was so run down and unkempt.

um, why would this woman withhold her name?
the perps obviously already know where she lives and most likely her name by now anyway. you think they forgot that they pulled this job and her giving her name would remind them?

I used to live off of Randol Mill at in an up-scale, gated apartment complex.
Here's what it's turned into.
The comments are hair-raising, especially the one about someone being murdered there.

People who break in like that deserve to die.

With Section 8 housing vouchers, the ghetto is now everywhere, and not so easily avoided.

"We used to streeet race on Park Row between Fielder and Collins and no one thought much about it. That was circa 1966."
I lived there about 20 years ago off Park Row around New York . It's more of an Asian neighborhood now but I don't know if there's a lot of crime or not. We live in Cedar Hill now. Great city!!
