A real and tough look at a notorious Philadelphia drug neighborhood. I started shooting here in 1995 and Nightline allowed me to return in 1998 to complete this compelling story. Reporter Ted Koppel, Producers Leroy Seivers, Artis Waters Camera Fletcher Johnson Audio Hank Disselkamp Charles Breiterman and Shari Thomas
AS SOON AS THAT COP WALKED IN LOOK HOW FAST THE DRUGS STOPPED. NEIGHBORHOODS SHOULD BE SAFE NOT UNSAFE. WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE PERSON/PERSONS RUNNING PHILADELPHIA?

Drugs crushed the poor people. Who wants to support an addict? Its really hard, all you can do is help the kids and hopefully they wont follow in the crack mother/father footsteps. I still remember 8th and Butler (the badlands). Suburbs got those addicts too, its just not shown on TV
