    I lived here all my life and yeah I have fought my way through here. Gotten into too much trouble and not just at night. Avoid if you can.

    There are actually some really nice blocks, streets, and houses in this area. There are also a lot of low rent apartments. I think it's unfairly disparaged. Yes it's a poorer area, but that doesn't mean the people who live there are any less human or worthwhile.

    There are a few very nice blocks in the area... it is not the War Zone.
  • Thats not right (guest)
