Nashville Escorts: Abandoned Homes Draw Crime, Say Neighbors

25 08 2010

Some neighbors Channel 4 News spoke with said they realize there are abandoned homes across the city, but they said what’s happened there should be reason enough for the city do something now.
“I’m really afraid to death to live here,” said North Nashville resident Emma Pillow.
She and her son live on 15th Avenue off Buchanan Street. Too often, they said, they’re seeing abandoned homes become crime scenes.
Four women have been found killed in four different vacant properties in the last year and a half.
“This house here had a body found in it about a year and a half ago. That got some neighbors disturbed,” said Greg Pillow. “A while later they found another body at this house here.”
Neighbors said the rundown homes do nothing but attract drugs dealers, prostitutes and violence. With problems getting worse, they’ve organized a neighborhood group with the hope of being heard.
