Not really sure. I know the Crips, the Bloods, and the Latin Kings have moved into town. Like any successful business, you start your franchises in the high-population areas, then move outside of the major cities. It's certainly more convenient to be able to go down to Crack Row rather than west Philly to score, but all the other attendant problems of the drug trade have followed along, including the shootings, smash and grabs, muggings, etc.

Allentown faces the same problems, only that formerly quiet little town is getting a lot of relocatees from NYC, as is Reading.

I'm sincerely hoping that Norristown finds enough money to continue paying their police department come November 1. The idea of the PA State Police taking over the jurisdiction is more than somewhat scary.
