She said that she never suspected a meth lab was in her neighborhood."You never expected this from this neighborhood because this is the suburbs," she said. "This is supposed to be the suburbs of Madison or whatever. And (we're) living next door to this. It's just messed up now."Another neighbor, Donvita Kennedy, said she and her family moved here from Chicago, hoping to get away from the kind of trouble that authorities said that they found next door."Unusual? No. But weird? Yes," Kennedy said. "Bcause we thought we left all that in the city. And here we are, right next door.
