Residents of historic district on alert after robberies

The Arizona Republic reports:

Two recent armed robberies in one of central Phoenix's oldest neighborhoods have put its residents on alert.

Willo Historic District residents are being told to walk in groups at night and to be more aware of their surroundings in the aftermath of two muggings that targeted three residents.

Holy crap. I lived in that neighborhood until 5 months ago. I know two of the people quoted in the story.

The house we used to own there is on the market again. Some improvements have been made, notably with the flooring, but essentially the house is pretty much the same as it was when we owned it. Ron and I installed the kitchen/dining area light fixture ourselves, and it was that experience which led me to install the sconces in the hall in our current house by myself.
