This is the city of Chester, in Delaware County.  When you drive down 
I-95 southbound it is south of I-476.  It's easily the biggest wart on 
DelCo in terms of pervasive poverty & crime.

I posted a little while ago asking if there was interest in setting up 
a DelCo LUG but didn't get much of an enthusiastic response from that 
query.

If you travel to this place, don't bring a nice car.  I've had too many 
people try to take my car out from under me while I was still in it 
over in Chester.

That said, I'm pretty close to the area (in Media now, in Prospect Park 
later this summer).
