Do you live in a scary place?, ... Options

I wouldn't say scary really. Everywhere you go isn't safe. Where I live isn't safe of course but I don't have to worry about getting mug but I could easily get mug here but it isn't always at the back of my mind and I always lock my doors because that's the world we live in.

there is this ONE jewish teengage girl in my neighborhood that CANNOT drive if her life depended on it. sometimes i have to like look around before i pass a stop sign before i go just in case she goes ahead and run it, AGAIN.

and i agree about the asian thing. i've seen and know a few asians that are not coordinated enough to drive.

me too. no matter what im doing (if im at home, or in my car or whatever), first thing i do is lock all doors.

I don't think anything ever happens around my area. I did have a former rapist who lived on my street but I don't know if he's still there. That's about it. Oh and someone was using their house as a meth lab.

But you've got to be careful in some parts of Cincinnati. My mom freaked out one night because we didn't know where we were. Over-the-Rhine used to be pretty bad; every morning there'd be news about riots and shootings. But it seems a little better now.

@melissa: morningside heights isn't considered harlem. it's sometimes refered to as "spanish harlem". the real harlem is on the east side, starting from 96th street.

also, if that student you're talking about is minghui yu, i just read about that in the paper, and it totally f**king sucks, especially since the assailants were 13 year olds >;[.

Yeah, I know it's not really Harlem, I problem should've put "near Harlem." I just felt it was easier to identify with.

Yeah, and that is who I'm talking about! I have a friend in CAVA (our campus EMT) she was the one who told me about it.

Besides that, though, I once had this guy asking for money follow me (and a friend) from our campus to the pizzeria. He kept harassing us and even though that was the only time it ever happened, it scared the shit out of me.
