If he took the direct route, Kyle would amble down 46th St. to Springfield and head 1/2 block west, to Farragut. I'm not sure that everyone on the list remembers that there are OTHER universities in the area - Penn is not the only game in town, and frat boys have done damage before. In Powelton a few years ago, Drexel guys went around ripping down rainbow flags. They've often been seen mistaking neighbors' front steps for urinals. This time, I was thinking about a USP fraternity on 47th St. which has been doing some very loud, drunken partying in the last week, according to another list I'm on. They've been spilling over into the street in the middle of the night and have seemed angry, perhaps with the neighbors who called the cops and USP on them. Is it too far a leap, to think that they MIGHT break a car win dow? Why would we assume, on the list, that college students would never cause property damage? Are we assuming that the students are more sophisticated, more responsible, more respectful, than our other neighbors, or what? Is there some sort of profiling going on here?
