Reply to comment by gman2391 in Areas to avoid in Manchester? by gman2391

Yea, Manchester's really not like that. You're not going to walk into the wrong area and someone will take violent offense to your presence. It's more like walking off Elm Street into a dark road and getting mugged kind of thing. There's been a lot of stories in the past few years about that happening in broad daylight in the parks.

It's really just a matter of keeping an eye out for your surroundings, like any city.

this is accurate

there are a couple areas that aren’t taken care of well and can get a little ~rowdy~ and there’s some smashed TVs on the sidewalk etc but I was still able to walk in those areas alone— or with my young child— regularly without a problem when I lived in Manch for a few years

I got aggressively catcalled once by a really drunk guy near where the Dominos is on Maple St and I told him to suck my dick and kept walking home with my pizza 🤷🏻‍♀️ (*my kid was not with me that time)
