Topix.com had a brief blog post about the Pioneer Press article that was written last week.  While the comments might have gotten a little off track, there was a comment or two worrying about the safety of the neighborhood.  We, can assure you, as well our friends and neighbors can, that Selby and Fairview Avenue is definitely a very safe area.
