Street crime around here seems to go up in the summer, down in the
winter. In recent years at least, though, University City has not,
repeat not been a high-street-crime part of America. It's about average.
The 3900 block of Market was also the site of one of UC's more-recent
murders, about two years ago. In that case, I vaguely recall, the victim
was a resident or related to a resident of that block.

While statistically the City's murder rates are down, this appears to
be the harbinger of a hot and confrontational summer.

Two die, two hurt in city shootings
Early-morning gunfire yesterday raised this year's number of
Phila. homicides to 153.

*Two men were killed* and two others seriously wounded in three
separate shootings about the same hour early yesterday in Philadelphia.
University of Pennsylvania police chased and stopped a vehicle with
three occupants minutes after they found Nathaniel Crawford, 26,
mortally wounded about 1:12 a.m. in front of the University City
Townhouses in the *3900 block of Market Street*.
