I actually watched about 20 minutes of the news the other night. For those of you who don't know, I despise the news because I think it's all negative. They never talk about something good that was done in the community or country, just about deaths, crimes, etc. Anyway, in the 20 minutes that I saw, they actually talked about a cool website.

Check it out - you type in your address and it will show a map of your neighborhood and the crimes that have taken place. You can even put the mouse over the little symbol and it will tell you the month/year of the crime and how far in miles from your house it occurred.
I feel good to know that there's not much crime in my neighborhood. Most of hit happened at the Family Center area - but that's expected since it's a shopping center, right?
I hope everyone lives in safe, crime-free neighborhoods too!
