The rest of the city is completely safe. I've lived most of my life in middle class and working class areas of the southwest and north sides of the city and have never feared to walk the streets in those areas, even in the middle of the night, while carrying expensive photo gear. I would not venture into the southeast side at night, and even during the day I have only gone there accompanied by several others. Violence is so bad on the southeast side that the police arrested a minister who lived there a few years ago for having a sawed off shotgun! He said he kept it for protection. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 12/15/12 4:43 AM, "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: >Fort Wayne is more dangerous than NYC, with a murder/manslaughter rate of >6.0 per 100.000 in 2010, compared to 4.7 for New York. > >http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u. >s.-2010/tables/table-6 > > >Nathan Wajsman >Alicante, Spain >http://www.frozenlight.eu >http://www.greatpix.eu >PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws >Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ > > >YNWA > > > > >On Dec 15, 2012, at 10:05 AM, Chris Crawford wrote: > >> Most guns are illegal in New York City, which is why you see few gun >> stores.
