ok am I the only person who was creeped out even as a kid by Mr Rogers? The man spooked me to no end.
Thoughts?

I prefered Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood on SNL.

Unfortunately the neighborhood has changed much over the years. GM bought out the trolley line years ago and eventually shut it down. The old right of way is now a major traffic congested freeway. The castle was sold to developers who tore it down and built a mall on the property. Today the mall is in serious decline troubled by vacant stores and gang activity. After the freeway bisected the neighborhood many of the residents left, fleeing to the suburbs. Eventually much of the old homes, including that of Mr. Rogers, were raised in an urban renewal program. Unfortunately, much of the cleared land was never built on and is now vacant property collecting trash or occupied by surface parking lots. The community overall is in serious trouble financially with declining property values, poorly performing schools, and major infrastructure repairs needed. Some developers are now pushing a scheme to build a casino on some of the vacant property.
