Linh Dinh's Dickens 911 Christmas present.

Shudder what's beyond Linh's all-seeing lens, what incident has summoned the ten (10) Philadelphia cops to patrol?

I don't know, but Quang Duc, Mississippi, and our fiddle asses are burning.

Yo Chuck,

In 2007, a Philadelphia Weekly article ranked Kensington and Somerset as the worst drug corner in all of Philly:


10) 1600-1900 W. Wingohocking St., Tioga.

9) Fifth and Carpenter sts., Pennsport.

8) 52nd and Market sts., West Philadelphia.

7) A and Westmoreland sts., Fairhill.

6) Bridge and Hawthorne sts., Frankford.

5) "The Box": 21st and McKean sts. to 23rd and McKean sts., north to 21st and Sigel sts. through 23rd and Sigel sts., Girard Estates.

4) 17th and Jefferson sts., Poplar.

3) Fifth and Westmoreland sts., Fairhill.

2) Third and Indiana sts., Fairhill.

1) Kensington and Somerset sts., Kensington.


But since the cops are out in force here every night, the drug dealers just operate starting at a couple of blocks over in every direction.
