I grew up north of chestnut and west of kansas. Lived in a couple places in that area. Sure I rode my bike around and felt safe enough. That was 20 years ago, and I was around a lot of stuff that I didn't realize how bad it actually was. I can't imagine it is any better now. A lot of the kids I grew up with are in jail or have smoked themselves retarded.

Yeah I've heard that area can be unpleasant. I'm talking more south though, like West of Kansas between College and Mt. Vernon

My last rental was over there. Lots of transients. Things were stolen off my porch constantly! People cutting through my back yard and just general tweaker activity. I moved as quickly as I could.

However, I will say that the neighbors were all tweakers and most of that foot traffic was because of them. They were selling drugs out of the house, so I can't speak for that ENTIRE area.

I work in housing and my old company had an apartment complex in that area. Storage shed was broken into too many time too count.

I think my favorite was when they planted a bunch of flowers to improve curb appeal and they were all stolen by the next day.
