Review of Chest,


Scary Stuff
Star Rating - 7/20/2007
My parents and I lived in Chester for a few years in the 1980's in a nicer part of town. We then moved to a nearby town. I spent a lot of time in Chester in the late 1990's visiting my father who had at that point moved back into the Chester home. He finally decided to move out of there after there were 2, yes TWO, driveby's at the end of his street and he got sick of the vandalism. Chester is also where many locals go for drugs. The crime is terrible!
When I take shortcuts through Chester to avoid I-95 traffic I roll up my windows, turn down the music and lock the doors; all the while being very aware of my surroundings and ready to "floor it" at any moment.
I recommend staying away!
