I have trouble accepting that *any* part of Indiana (other than South Bend and that whole "Chicago neighborhood" thing) can be dangerous and potentially violent.
I grew up on Brentwood at 42nd & Post.... Also 17th & Wallace..... 38th & Shadeland.....
I for one, love Indianapolis. There is much work to do, but I am proud to call this city my home.
All I have to say is I can't wait to get out of the city. I live in a pretty low crime area according to the map, but there are some things that have happened in my neighborhood that aren't on there.
so i studied the map and look in my area, and my motorcycle theft on sept 15th is not on it.. i feel left out of the crime map!!
Not sure whats up with this map, I work in the north central section of this city 56th to the south all the way to county line, between meridian and michigan. I can assure you that we have plenty of friendly beatings, stabbings, and shootings that aren't on this list. Must have something to do with the fact that rich folks are so close (encircling) to this area and don't want people to think we have lots of fun up here too!
I live at 38th and Shadeland now.....Well worth risking my life to go to Foon Ying!
I think those old Mozel Sanders projects were some of the worst in the city. Almost all of them are gone. They built fancy new projects next door for the cockroaches to inhabit.
I used to live in an apartment complex just south of 38th off of shadeland called Kingston Square Homes behind the old quality inn
Oh, I beg to differ. For example, Midget tossing is a crime in some places.If it is friendly and fun, it isn't a crime.
my vote goes for 38th and lafayette, i work over in that area and lafayette square is not a pleasant place to be around, never been in there, probably never will. though i'm not familiar with the east side, beyond one of my buddies showing me his old place, telling me a story about a gang banger shooting a lady for stealing his parking space, not sure if it was true, but i would believe it.
