WeatherHow much crime?What are the neighborhoods like?What are the people like?
Late November to the first of April the weather is normal east coast weather. With the occasional cold winter blast making it in to the low to middle teens. Snow is moderate to heavy at times.. City streets are not plowed well. Summers are hot with very few cool summer breezes to enjoy. The lack of vegetation makes the town even hotter then you would expect..Crime in Camden is Rampant... Its a regular Killing field in this town with no redeeming place to rest your head. It is the most dangerous place I have ever lived in. Murder, Rape, Armed robberies happen every day. The town is 2.5 square miles of danger zone. Time magazine wrote a article about Camden titled Who would want to live here.. They titled it correct.. No one in there right mind would want to.Best part of Camden is around Cooper Hospital due to the fact they are trying to revitalize the area around the hospital. The street that the hospital is on is Haddon Avenue & MLK boulevard. The aria around the hospital is mostly low income families with about 65% black and 35% Hispanic. The worst part of this city is Parkside section with the most per capita crime in the nation. Murder is a nightly happening in Parkside and the section is 90% black and 10% Hispanic..People in this town have been beaten in to submission and have no hope for the future. No one fits well in this town, your are born in to poverty like this. Whit people in general do not do well in Camden. The young die young in this town and the old are the unlucky ones to have seen such a wonderful town degenerate in to a living hell. They are the worst people on gods green earth there. This is a town for hoods and thugs at best,,
Downtown AreaRestaurantsSchoolsSingle life
Not good at all.. Stay out . DangerDonkeys Steaks is the one and only place to get food.. and that's a bar.They are among the worst schools in the nation because no one wants to work thereNO opportunities at al for singles
Noisetown comparison vs.Best hospitalTourist attractions
Inter city so you get all the noises. But mostly gun fire.Pennsauken and Gloucester city or the two towns neighboring Camden. and living in either place is better then Camden. Mainly because you have a less chance of being murdered in either place.. You have stores to food shop in and general better placesCooper hospital is the best hospital for trauma only because of the volume of people they getThe USS New Jersey is there and the State Aquarium..
General comments   
Camden looks and feels like a town riddled by WAR.. Building are taken down and not removed.. Industry is all but gone from here. The only business that does well in this town is the hospitals because they get fresh people to practice on every day. People here are dying every day there is no impression I can give other then get out wile you still can walk
