I'd stay until I got enough money for a movie at the Bel Air Cinema or Hank Houston ran me off. I ended up becoming an employee at PP. I made it to cashier until they went chapter 11.

They have never been personally affected by the crime. There are nice homes there (many of which are nicer, more spacious than the homes in Levitt Bowie -- 20715). But I would be concerned about the schools if you have (or will have) children. High Bridge is an overpopulated, poorly performing school and the schools in Levitt Bowie are generally considered to be better.
