This didn't used to be the case. My family built the whole southern stretch of Red Robin (The Lodge, I cant remember the name, and Stonegate Commons). Back when these were built, it was all young professionals and young families. As a kid I remember Big Daddy living at the Lodge and playing Sega with him from time to time. Red Robin didn't used to be a through street.
My grandpa sold the complex between the Lodge and Stonegate first. It was the first place to lower rents and qualifcations. A large fence was promptly added between the 3 complexes. In 1999 my grandpa sold Stonegate Commons. Again, the new owners lowered rents and qualifications. The crime was moving in more and more. The people stacker apartments on Tamarack south of the Lodge and the apartments across Tamarack from The Lodge were absolute crime breeding grounds. My dad put the Lodge on the market in 2002. In fall 2004, 22 cars and 3 buldings were shot up in 1 night in a mass shooting. He finally sold the place in 2006. Again, the new owners lowered rents and lowered qualifications.
It's broken my heart to see the area go to shit, but it really has. The final straw was when the owner of the Dairy Queen on Tamarack Circle was shot. He was the absolute nicest man. I vowed then that I would never go back to that area.
