HOME SWEET HOME!!!

Yep, any posting about San Pedro crime or graffiti always attracts a few comments from people who bash SP for the sake of bashing it. They either make up lies about it, or just say it sucks with no substantiation. Graffiti: when did u last see any in downtown San Pedro? Too many people are living in the past, before it got cleaned up, trees trimmed, etc. Anyway they can cling to their illusions about an unpleasant San Pedro; - who cares? The rest of us know the truth... How? We look around us.

Anyone know where Dennison Ave. is? I was born in San Pedro in 1966 and left for Philadelphia in 1971. My folks were East Coasters and I guess I am too having grown up in Philly. My Mom was a bit of a cultural snob about CA in general and my Dad loved it but threatened a divorce if we didn't move back East.

Our little house was on Dennison (Denison?) Ave. near the beach and I remember it well. Riding my Big Wheel around the block... I also remember lots of neon signs on the major boulevards

I used to live in San Pedro around Gaffey...moved out. It's a shithole down there. But there's many great places in San Pedro up above Gaffey or in the higher numbered streets.

It's pretty safe, never been messed with by anyone. I've lived in 'good' neighborhoods that were more hostile . Downtown near the water, lots of people look homeless, strung out, tweeking, etc. Like a toilet to outsiders, don't blame them for wanting to stay away.

Unsafe? No.

Armpit in some spots? Yes
