My Neighborhood Name: Phillips

My Neighborhood Description: My neighborhood boundaries are Hiawatha Ave. Lake Street Interstate 35w and 18th Street South Minneapolis.

1. Public Services (parks, libraries, schools)
Grade: B
Comments: I said the grade was a B because the parks are not that fun and they are mainly made for little kids. The library is okay and it has a lot of computers so I like the library. The schools in my neighborhood are boring and I don’t like them. The schools in my neighborhood are Trinity First Lutheran School, Anderson and South High School.

2. Transportation (access to bike routes, bus and train, main streets, and highways)
Grade: A
Comment: The reason why I gave my neighborhood an A is because the bus stop is right in front of my house. The train station is about three blocks away, there are the main street Franklin Ave. South. 11th Ave. Route The Franklin Stop on the train.

3. Retail Services (groceries, pharmacies, coffee shops, banks, restaurants and more)
Grade: D
Comments: I give my neighborhood a D because the grocery store is Aldis and I don’t really like that store. In my neighborhood we have Snyder’s and I don’t really go there, and we have no banks and no restaurants and I don’t drink coffee so it doesn't really matter about that.

4. Safety (violent and nonviolent crime, shots fired, predatory offenders, and pedestrian safety)
Grade: F
Comments: My neighborhood is gets an F in this category because my neighborhood has a lot of violence and it is not really safe. If you don’t know the neighborhood it is not really safe. The pedestrian safety is not very good and it is really not the safest place to walk across the street.

5. Nuisances (airport noise, pollution, and odors)
Grade: B
Comments: There is no airplane noise in my neighborhood; there is not really a lot of airplane noise. The pollution in my neighborhood is hazardous waste, investigation & cleanup and multiple activities. I don’t think there are any bad odors in my neighborhood.

6. Demographics (diversity, home ownership, education, income, and poverty)
Grade: C
Comments: I gave my neighborhood a C because there are not a lot of people that own their own houses. I think the reason why is because the conditions the houses are in and the way the things look around it. Also not a lot of people have a god education. It compares to my neighborhood because some neighborhoods have a majority of people who have a good education compared to mine.

7. Areas for Improvement: I think some of the areas that could use improvement are the streets because they have a lot of cracks and they have a lot of pot holes. That is the only thing I think could use improvement. The crime in my neighborhood is mainly theft.

8. What I like best about my neighborhood: The thing I like best about my neighborhood is the way it is set up. The stores are like just the right blocks away for me to walk there. The other thing in my neighborhood that I like is the things that are for my age group like all around and I don’t have to walk to miles to get anywhere. Also, the bus stop is right in front of my house.

9. What I’d Most Like to See for My Neighborhood:

I really do want new basketball courts. The courts that are there now are really messed up. The other thing that I would like to see in my neighborhood is tennis courts. I want tennis courts that are made up of clay. I just don’t want to play on concrete.
