I have always found moving exciting which is why I probably have done so much. My mom had to move at 84 and 85 and both times when I flew out to pack her she had everything but the kitchen done. The next morning she left st 9 and when she came home at 4 my friend and I had totally unpacked her whole 2 bedroom apartment. She couldn’t believe it and just stood there with her mouth open. That also included washing all her dishes because they were wrapped in newspaper. We have made this home as low maintenance as possible. IL, I certainly would not live somewhere that it was dangerous to be outside. It’s a shame that your historical neighborhood has to deal with that crap.
