No, Starbase lived in Baltimore.
My Office is on the border of Camden and Pennsauken, NJ. Camden is a wierd city. They are getting ready to level the Kramer Hill section and build a gated community with a golf course and 200 to 300k homes!
The Victor (old RCA building) is a luxary apartment complex in the University district. There are some nice area's in Camden. The Waterfront, Medical District, Downtown and the University district are safe and clean.
It's North Camden, South Camden, Fairview, and those neighborhoods that suck. Camden's last mayor Milton Milan is in jail for 25yrs+ for dealing drugs.
Camden has a lot of potential and an incoming state investment of $175 million!
My idea for urban renewal? Turn the USS New Jersey's guns 90 degrees and open fire!

How big is Camden?
It's sort-of ironic how in our little town of Albert Lea a story was published on the front page of our newspaper about a girl whos parents found meth in her purse and called the cops on her, and in Camden or any other crime infested cities (the bad parts) people can sell marijuana openly on the street without worry. Our news is twenty times tamer than big cities, we live in a plastic bubble it seems.War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength

Captain Jack - I know what you mean. I'm from Southwestern Minnesota. Very small town - Worthington.
I can't really think of any really shocking stories originating from here off the top of my head.
Like you said, 20 times tamer.So you've got an E-Mag, Warpfeed, LX, and a complete set of barrels. You can shoot a steady 13 bps and bunker me like it's no problem...
But do you know where your towel is?Comment

I have been to Camden more times than I care to count. The company I worked for has a site there (Southern NJ Transit). The first time I was at the site, I left after dark and was driving down one of the streets that had all the store fronts closed up and barb wire around the tops of the buildings. I felt like I was in a war zone. Then I had to go find a ATM before heading across the bridge back to "safe" Philly and I spent 30 mins looking for one with a drive through so I didn't have to leave my car
