PAtterson NJ. Once a italian neighbor hood full of pride.. now????

A good friend of mine lived in Patterson back in the 80's and up to the mid-90's. He and his wife left around '95, as it was already turning to a third-world pesthole, compared to the neighborhood he knew. It has only metastacized since...sad and pathetic...

That's probably what the Indians said. That's probably what the americans said when the Italians turned up....and so on and so forth....face it folks, the world changes, and sometime there's not a lot we can do.

I am certain that when Billy moved to Texas, more than one person said "Fuck, there goes the neighborhood." :lol: That isn't the point though. The point isn't that the demographic of the neighborhood changed. The point is that with that change came bad things like the abuse in the article. Admittadly, there are some bad things that come of Italians moving in. They bring their Iroc's and Aqua Velva. They also bring some great food and women with huge cans!
