Do you have 'No Go areas' near you, the ones where it is wiser to stay away from ? ?

AbbeyRhode · F

Camden New Jersey is near me. I had a friend who drove their for a business meeting years ago--got lost and had to pay a taxi driver a fare to follow him to the city limits.

Parts of Trenton are really bad / no go zones. Mostly gang controled. . I have been to kensington philadelphia alone at night a few times but that was probably a bad idea. The neighboring town is Fishtown and lots of residents have pitpulls for protection at night --which is heart warming since most of those dogs got rescued

I almost maced in Kensingtonwas jogging to meet a friend at a local establishment and a resisdent who thought I was charging them and whipped out their chemical spray. I was convince him quick enough that i was just jogging and meant the no harm. I did get the[quote] "white boy why the hell are you jogging at night in Kensington look" [/quote]

@OlderSometimesWiser AC to Philly / even using the local slang. Bet you drove right by me (with windows up and doors locked)
@robertsnj Lol…. I’m sure you’re not quite as dangerous as Camden.

No. I suppose there might be a couple of shady bars in Oslo but that's over an hour's drive away.

@Baremine you should have a gun control discussion on here. ain't nothing wrong with the topic
Baremine · 70-79, C
@robertsnj I have my opinion. I was a weapons man in the USAF. I don't feel gun control is the answer. It is a spiritual problem. Gun control just doesn't help the problem.
Just like diabetes they are treating symptoms not the cause.

I live in a small town, I run and walk at night, feel safe, but always bring my dog
craig7 · 70-79, M
Sydney has several areas that fit that criterion.
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@craig7 Bankstown, Lakemba, Punchbowl
craig7 · 70-79, M
@nedkelly 3 out of 3 there Ned! Of course there are others.
Northerner · 70-79, M
Only London which is over 700 miles from us.😁
Nimbus · M
@Northerner I'm guessing you are quite safe then ;)
The ex’s house after I got a skinfull of piss?
Nimbus · M
Lilymoon · F
I'm a woman. I don't go anywhere alone at night.
robertsnj · 56-60, M
@Lilymoon yeah I feel for your gender on how different it is for you. I realize how much being alone at night outside if flexing my mancard.
4meAndyou · F
Nope. We can go anywhere we want in this town, safely.
Musicman · 61-69, M
No. Everywhere is safe where I live.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
Seems like the old downtown area here is for me. You see all sorts of things when you drive through on Main Street and on the side streets too. Wasn’t like this even 3 years ago. The problems are multiplying now.
meggie · F
Yes not far from me is an area that used to be a thriving shopping town and a nice place to go. Now many of the shops have shut and it is full of pickpockets, foreigners carrying knives (meat clevers and swords sometimes too), beggars and drug dealers. There is a constant police presence there, but you don't feel safe
Nimbus · M
@meggie It seems this is becoming commonplace and governments are hardly recognising the problem involved for residents.
It's OK for them as they don't live nearby!
meggie · F
@Patriot96 I'm sure it did in cheaper/council estate areas. Now regardless of where you are in the UK, you are very lucky if you can avoid it.
meggie · F
@Nimbus yes they have taxi payer funded second homes and pretend they do
It's nowhere near me, but I think for Americans, North Korea should be on that list...
TexChik · F
South Dallas
sladejr · 56-60, M
@TexChik isn't that from where Bonnie and Clyde sprung?
TexChik · F
@sladejr Yep Clyde was born there and had family there.
sladejr · 56-60, M
@TexChik if I remember right wasn't part of it under a bridge in a tent. I think it wasn't part of the city then

Someone recently paid big bucks for their deathmobile 🚑
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
The whole west side and Southside of Chicago
Nimbus · M
@Patriot96 I think I have seen the YouTube videos.
Iwillwait · M
Yes. Anywhere there's peopley.
Bipolarbear71 · 51-55, M

Nitedoc · 51-55, M
No, not anywhere close.

looping · 18-21
well my brothers friend was stabbed right outside my front door last year. and there's crime in my immediate area all the time so i guess anywhere outside of my house is a no go area.
Nimbus · M
@looping Oh my!
Not that I'm aware of, just stay off strangers properties.

I guess the inner city at night/dark, but that's just in general.
Roadsterrider · 56-60, M
Absolutely. Some areas are just too crime ridden, dope infested, not safe to park your car, that it would be ridiculous to go to.
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
No but some areas are really not worth visiting 🙂🐼🥢
Nimbus · M
@Anniedlr Really?
It must have changed since I last visited ;)
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
@Nimbus Clearly you haven’t visited the Arbury Estate 😂😂😂🙂
Nimbus · M
@Anniedlr No and from what you say I will give it a miss when I am next in the area ;)
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Nimbus 🤫mrs smiler nimby as the size of her she could be considered an area in her own rights lol 😆
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

smiler2012 · 56-60
