A front-page article about the crime reputation of EPA, how residents feel it's unwarranted, and how the stigma has affected businesses serving the EPA community. Discusses national and local pizza businesses not serving the area, limited repair businesses that will serve the area, and a lack of taxi businesses that will pick up EPA callers. Includes a tracker of crime in the area, interviews with businesses that do serve the area, the perspectives of developers in EPA, the usage of police escorts to ensure safety, how the limited services qualify as redlining, and features "Residents drop the 'East' to cope with notoriety" on final page.
