I live in a fairly big town area wise. It could easily take an hour to get from one side to the other. Downtown is about 2 miles away from some of the worst sections in town. Everyone who lives here knows there are just certain places you dont go after dark. I have had police officers tell me they are nervous driving through these areas of town.
When they announced up scale condos in this area natives of the town laughed out loud. We pretty much figured the only people moving into those condos were out of towners who had no clue. Sure its close to downtown, but our downtown really does not offer a whole lot. Its more of a professional downtown. Lots of office buildings. Your commute would be a breeze but is it really worth taking your life into your own hands?
The other day hubby drove by a bill board advertising these condos. One of the catch me phrases? "Urban Excitement". Yes, that is a great description for drug deals, drive by shootings, and police sirens 24/7.
Just thought I would share the new lingo.
