Unfortunately it's the class of some the people who live in those surrounding areas that are responsible for the filth. I'm sure you noticed other stores/business in outlying areas are just fine

Nice to see that Fry's can afford to open such wonderful new stores across the valley. Too bad they can't afford to spend a few hundred dollars to just power wash the filth off of the walkway in front of the inner city stores. 51st and Olive in Glendale would be a great start.
