Yes, I live near the National Lakeshore. Not safe unless a little red fox decides to chase me.

I used to go for walks in the middle of the night. The police stopped me once. Asked where I was going and I was like lol I can't sleep bro.

@Matt85 It sounds like you live in a sun-down town.
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@Diotrephes what is that?

I wouldn't, even in the morning you get crackheads.

Around 9 am today by the canals (was wearing a paleantology tshirt) there was a crackhead guy doing weird movements with a stick, walked past him and he says "I like the dinosaur head on your T-shirt mate", he does a roar, and starts waving his stick at me 😂

Someone removed the window screen from one of the windows in my sun room last night. They aren’t easy to put in or remove because they have two springs on one side, you have to push in that side with springs really hard to get it to fit and also use a tool to remove it…so it wasn’t wind etc that removed it. There are so many transients prowling around in this city no telling what they wanted. Now I have to close the windows at night or when I am not at home. They can’t lift the windows from the outside if they are closed.

@cherokeepatti it’s disgraceful that this happens in the USA
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Ambroseguy80 She got voted out of office. I came home from shopping one Sunday afternoon and there was a man who came up campaigning for her. I believe it was her husband, had seen photos of him with her on her website. I got angry and said “Oh really after all she’s done to mess up this city? She needs to pack up and go back to Wichita!” And then ordered him to leave. He apologized and said he wouldn’t return. Scurried down the sidewalk to the next house. And a few weeks after she was out of office he filed a restraining order against her. We never found out why but I wondered if she was the one wearing the pants in the family.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@cherokeepatti sounds like she was. Maybe she had shoe nuts as well? 🤭
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
That’s when the teens from an apartment complex about 8 blocks away walk around neighborhoods looking for stuff to steal outta cars, anything they can carry off and sell for $…gotta make some party money. Would be good to carry a baseball bat and an air horn if you do. They like to run away laughing when a car horn goes off. I got two free flashlights because of that, they dropped them next to my car on different days.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@cherokeepatti I know. I have people living there now. I lived there (OKC) in the early 80's and it was great!
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Nitedoc Before the gangs moved there from California
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
@cherokeepatti I know it's not what it used to be.
SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F
i've never had an issue here, but i'm still careful and keep my pepper spray on me

@Eddiesolds Good to hear.
I guess you are not living in France ;)
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@Nimbus Not at all lol
exexec · 61-69, C
Yes, if you stay on the street or trail with a flashlight. You have to watch out for snakes because it is only then that it is cool enough for them to be out. No people will bother you.
Nimbus · M
@ExperienceDLT Good to hear 👍
exexec · 61-69, C
@ExperienceDLT Texas coast
@exexec ok got ya
AbbeyRhode · F
For most of my life, I would have answered 'yes'. I can no longer say that. Thanks to America-hating Democrat policies, we are now being flooded with criminal gangs, drugs, and illegal weapons.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode What are the police doing?
AbbeyRhode · F
@Nimbus They try to do their job, but even when they arrest criminals, the liberal court puts them right back on the street.

@Nimbus Defunded!
Fairydust · F
Yeah I feel safe here, when I lived in the country, I’d walk home at 2/3am all the time when I worked in my local nightclub.
Nimbus · M
@Fairydust That's great 👍
SW-User
@Fairydust Ok. It's settled then. I'm moving in with you.
smiler2012 · 56-60

no, a few months ago my brothers friend was stabbed literally right outside my house
Nimbus · M
@looping How is he now?
looping · 18-21
@Nimbus i have no idea. assuming he's alive still but my brother doesnt respect me enough to talk to me so i don't bother
Patientlywaiting · 46-50, F
Yep, it's mostly very elderly people here. They are all in bed by 9pm reading Catherine Cookson novels or knitting 😊
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
Yes I would think so. There will probably be someone out walking there dog.
Nimbus · M
@Jacko1971 Good to hear 👍
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
@Nimbus that's part of the reason to live in a small village. That's not to say that there is no trouble at all. Burglaries and car jacks to happen on very rare occasions.
No i live in a somewhat high crime area. I would not recommend doing it where i live
SW-User
If you don't mind running back home without your belongings, sure
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Ooops!
robertsnj · 56-60, M
Neighborhood scout gave mine a 35 out of 100 with 100 being the safest. That site is pretty good for giving data driven answers. I sometimes ride my bike at 2 ish
Nimbus · M
@robertsnj 👍
GunFinger · F
I don't know why anyone would but yeah I think so.
Nimbus · M
@GunFinger Good.
Insomnia is a curse ;)
SW-User
@GunFinger Some people want to conduct their witchcraft in a safe neighborhood.
eyeno · M
My neighborhood.....sure!

Its when I'm at home that I'm worried..,

Nimbus · M
@Mardrae Awwww, why, what happens?
Mardrae · F
@Jacko1971 pretty much, yeah
Mardrae · F
@Nimbus bad neighborhood. Lots of dope dealers, car jacking, kidnapping, and stray pit bulls running around the neighborhood.
FloorGenAdm · 51-55, M
I'm the one that knocks! -Walter White
NCCindy · 36-40, F
Safe ... yes

Would I do it .... unlikely ...
Nimbus · M
@NCCindy Good to hear :)
MasterLee · 56-60, M
We are all armed so yes it is very safe
Nimbus · M
@MasterLee Very safe :) 👍
kodiac · 22-25, M

@kodiac Wow, very nice! :)
kodiac · 22-25, M
@Nimbus And safe lol

Nimbus · M
@TheFragile Why's that?
TheFragile · 46-50, M
@Nimbus bad neighborhood.
deadgerbil · 22-25
Yes. Imma dude so I really don't worry. I've gone for runs at all hours of the night. Never saw anything nefarious in my area of Chicago lol
Nimbus · M
@deadgerbil Good to hear especially when we hear in the news about so many gun deaths.
deadgerbil · 22-25
@Jacko1971 it's unremarkable. Maybe downtown but idk, I hardly ever go down there

MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
Yes. Very rural 😌
Nimbus · M
ShadowWorker · 61-69, F
Maybe on a full moon night, no city lights here. Nothing worse than getting lost in the middle of the woods.
But at 3am..I maybe walking the floors.
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
Nope, skunks around & I don't feel like getting sprayed.
@ineedadrink I wish skunks were the biggest concern.🤣 Cute little bastards.
ineedadrink · 51-55, M
@UnderLockDown Until they spray you or your pet. Also carry rabies. I'm not such a big fan of them or raccoons.
@ineedadrink Been sprayed, it sucks.😆 That stuff does not smell the same at a distance! Up close it burns your eyes.
Has been in the past, but it seems to be changing lately. More figures in hoodies roaming around...
Nimbus · M
@UnderLockDown Yes, that's becoming quite common now, it's sad.
meggie · F
It once was but sadly no. It's a nice place in many ways to live, but now it's really gone to the pack with stabbings, theft and crime.
Elessar · 26-30, M
Never had an issue with it. I sometimes go to the beach around that time, to watch the moon.
Nimbus · M
@Elessar Sounds very peaceful 👍

Once, walking into work (overtime) at about 5am a police car stopped alongside me and the guy said "Good morning, where are you going". I was carrying a long umbrella and they might have thought it was a Kalashnikov!

Must admit, way back, just one area in my home town (city now) that was considered a bit iffy at night, now quite a few areas I would not like to be in. Nearby, we have had drug raids, a drive-by shooting, a fatal stabbing - all over the past few years.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Everybody tells me it isn't but honestly nothing bad has happened to me and I'm not afraid. People who don't live here are more worried than I am hahah.
deadgerbil · 22-25
@HannibalAteMeOut they'll shit me on you as revenge
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@deadgerbil that means I'll get money in my culture
deadgerbil · 22-25
deadteddy · 26-30, F
I’ve been here for 3 days but apparently it’s one of the safest neighborhoods
Yea nobody is stupid enough to mess with me anyways
Nimbus · M
Incredibly safe.
SW-User
@Cassie2083 are you not afraid I may jump out of a tree and yell "boo!"? And then bark like a dog while running like a grizzly?
@SW-User No, because I know that you're safely tucked away in your padded cell.
SW-User
@Cassie2083 one day I will escape
SW-User
generally, yes. nowhere is truly safe, tho
Nimbus · M
@SW-User Good point, be careful.
just because you can. dont mean you should...
Nimbus · M
I would love to be able to go for night walks again... too many coyotes where i live though .. i have tried it before and the whole experience is just a prolonged anxiety attack of constantly watching everything.. if the sherrif would just make it legal to eliminate them already i would feel alot easier about taking a night hike.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Be careful. The drunks will run you down.
Domking · 61-69, M
No problem. It's quiet and quite safe.
Nimbus · M
@Domking Yay! 👍
nedkelly · 61-69, M
Yes, we have no scousers or any migrant crime gangs
Yes no problems
Nimbus · M
@Whatawebsite Good to hear as many places are dangerous.
Convivial · 26-30, F

Teslin · M
Azlotto · M
No. I would have to say hello to my neighbors. 😉
Nimbus · M
@Azlotto lol, I know how that feels! 😆
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Azlotto Me and the boy used to walk after 11 at night when the summer days were around 100 F. During the daytime. We saw one neighbor who lives about 4 houses down sitting on the tailgate of his pickup truck and talked to him. He told us that he liked to sit in his driveway and watch what goes on in the neighborhood. I am happy to have a neighbor like him. When the SHTF soon we might all want to take turns watching our streets and neighborhoods.
