Preparing for the holidays

""
"The best part is being with family and remembering loved ones, having a nice dinner and remembering the religious aspects. The worst part is running out of time."

Lois Fortuna,
12th and Mifflin streets

"The worst part is that the weather is inconsistent and I wish it would just snow already. The best part is I enjoy buying presents for family and friends."

Shawna Ferguson,
10th and Wharton streets

""

"The worst part is all the crime that’s going on in the city, especially when you hear things going on around the holidays."

Ron F.,
13th and Sigel streets

"The worst is the weather, hot and cold. The best, I think, is that prices are going down. The shop owners are cutting us a break."

Grace Jones,
10th and Wolf streets

""

"The worst of it is that our murder rate has surpassed 365, like the days of the year. The best is the time off from work and time with the family."

12th and Watkins streets
