I lived on the north side for several years, off Kearney and also Atlantic. No doubt it’s a shit hole, not sure if some of you are delusional or have just never lived anywhere else. I felt safer walking around at night in Miami FL around NW 117th Ave, which is also a shit hole.

Had meth head scrappers for neighbors, had my car broken into twice. Once for the faceplate off my stereo and again in an attempt to steal the car.

Anything not chained down is asking to be stolen. Like the license plates off my car, or even the damn ashtray and half smoked butts off my front porch.

Wanna take your kid to the park? Sorry there’s homeless people sleeping and pissing on it.

Random gunfire. Full on screaming arguments and fights past midnight in the streets. Gas tank on my girlfriends car drilled and siphoned.

The list goes on and on. I moved down south some near bass pro and it really isn’t much better. Had my backyard here broken into within the first week or two. Also had some wasted girl searching for her meth pipe in my yard here.

Anywho, your assessment is correct the north side is a dump. I’m talking Chestnut to Norton in between Kansas expressway and Glenstone. Not some cushy suburb with cookie cutter houses just outside the city limits.
