I’m a former Waterville cop and still live in the area. The south end is a mixture of low and middle class blue collar folks. 99.9% are great people who work hard, take care of their families, and look out for their neighbors. There isn’t a street in the city that I wouldn’t let my own mother live on.

Those that think of the south end as some crime ridden hell hole are idiots that have clearly never lived outside of Maine.
