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.

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.

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.
