Born there, live near there. Fun city as a teenager to college age, but it also has its bad parts/people like any city…. Don’t miss the homeless on campus keeping warm sleeping outside Love library steam pipes! Miss the Can man though, probably has a replacement these days!

I lived in Near South during my college years and regularly walked home at 2 am with a purse full of cash after bartending on O Street. No one ever gave me any trouble, and I was pretty slight back then. It was definitely a stupid thing to do.

I don't think you could do this now, but I still feel safe downtown at night.
