I was born and raised here. It really is about how you dress and how you carry yourself. Never have I been jumped or felt threatened and I’ve been over in sowebo partying or whatever plenty of times. You just have to be smart, carry a taser or something, have a big dark coat and travel quickly. I think gangs and such will target you if you look like an out-of-Towner too a lot of the time. But my best piece of advice is get a ragged, oversized coat to wear over your nice clothes. Look broke.
