There’s security. It’s very busy/full during the day and very quiet after 6:00-ish.

I park my car in the Jackson St. garage and haven't had any issues. I walk my (tiny) dog along Jackson St. at night (and morning, and afternoon). I've lived here for 6 years without any problems. I'm small and female. I like living near Mill no. 5, the train station, a bunch of restaurants, some good bars, etc. My husband can't drive and the small city has enough amenities that it's not really a problem.
