Review of Chester, Pennsylvania


A rating of '4' and '2' for violent and property
Star Rating - 7/27/2008
Seems to me Sperling's got the wrong city's ratings in there (in fact, maybe for a whole 'nuther planet). I never lived there myself, but have lived somewhat close by (Wilmington DE), and have seen my share of Chester scum drive down to steal my car, do some purse-snatching and carjacking, along with the occasional junkie killing themselves (and their own babies) in intentional head-on collisions during police pursuits, etc.... A '4' for violent crime??? Gimme a break, it's gotta be closer to a 8 or 9. I mean, unless it's because they always drive outside their own city to wreak havoc...seriously.
But while I don't think I can ever say enough bad things about Chester, just to be perfectly fair, a coworker of mine's parents said there actually once was(?) a really nice, posh club/restaurant they used to frequent there. Go figure. But the bottom line, it is a place I and everyone else I've ever known have always liked to avoid.
