Virtually all of the crime in Fort Wayne is concentrated in the southeast
side. 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.
