It Could Be Worse

Neighborhood booster looks on the bright side:

Upper Darby police and health officials discovered a makeshift kitty morgue Wednesday when they searched a vacant rowhouse on Ardmore Avenue in the township's Drexel Hill section.

..."I don't know what the cat autopsies are going to show," Chitwood said. "My expectation was that these cats just died, but I think being so mentally ill, she's trying to preserve them even in death by putting them in a freezer. Cryonics. That's exactly what's going on."

...Residents of the block, just off Lansdowne Avenue, are still recovering from last week's raid of an alleged brothel across the street.

..."On one side, you got prostitution, on the other side, you got cats in the freezer," Chitwood said. "It's tragic."

...Neighbors say the well-kept block isn't the type of place where you'd expect to find hookers and frozen pets.

"At least it's not drugs," one resident said. "Just crazy people."
