    Fun fact. At the very end of the video, the large brick building on the right hand side of the street is the old Hancock #2 Elementary School, which I attended in the 1970s and 80s. It was built in 1913 and closed as a school in 1993. Great video!

    This town looks like a typical working class area with really nice well kept up yards, decent sized homes, and an okay amount of shops. It doesn't look like it'd have high crime at all honestly.

    It's obvious that you are not from the area. Lemay is not pronounced Lee May'. It's Le'may, one word with the accent on Le.
