No one asked a damn thing about your wife, nor any wife at all.
Yes, just a few blocks away at night is a totally different feeling, especially at night Walk north towards 98th street, and it's getting bad quickly.Originally Posted by Schadenfrau
I don't know what you're doing in South Bronx and why you live there. It's possible that there are "normal" pockets in that area that are livable. I would never want my wife wondering alone in South Bronx. That was the original question.

lmao. Well the way I see it this. It is up to the person to decide what it "bad" or "good" about a neighborhood. If you feel unsafe in a certain area. Then don't go, or leave. That's the way I see it.
You guys should listen to Spice
He really is the only one here with any common sense here! Everyone else just looks like a fool, whipping up meaningless crime stats and producing 1 in a million crime scenarios. Spice seems to have enough street smarts to know which areas to avoid and is the only one who has really contrubuted anything of meaning to this thread.
tbenson81, where do you live?
Avoiding Harlem in it's entirety hardly brings "street smarts" to my mind. Why not just avoid New York City altogether? That's the safest course. Can't argue with that.
City
There is no reason to avoid NYC in its entirety. There seems like there are many areas where upstanding, quality indiviudals such as MrSpice reside. Those of you defending Harlem and 138th and Amsterdam arents making yourselves look too good. Tony
Someone who judges an opinion to be worthwhile because it agrees with his own assessment based on one scene from a movie shot 11 years ago - is calling us fools.
Fool indeed.
Movie
No - it takes common sense and just one quick look at the area to know its not somewhere I would like to be visiting anytime soon. That intersection was just a test to see who on this board possesses safety parallels similar to my own and MrSpice is the only one who passed. Everyone else failed miserably. But to each his own - if you are cool with that neighborhood, thats fine. Maybe I just have higher expectations and neighborhood standards than most. I wouldnt even want to be in a cab driving throguh that neigborhood, much the less on foot. Tony
And how did you know enough about the intersection to set up the test?
Intersection
I saw it in Die Hard 3 and last time I was in New York, myself and a couple of friends decided to check out where it was. Thought it would be cool. This was back in 2003. We took a cab to the corner and even the cab driver said "Are you guys crazy" when we said we wanted out there. This was at 1:00 in the afternoon. Needless to say, better judgement set in and we headed back to the much "safer" areas of town. Tony Anyways - catch up with you guys later - have to see the Heat close this one out!
Since you have already lied once, there is no reason to believe you were ever in NYC.
And if you were, it is even sadder that your life is so uneventful, that you have to troll around the internet for exitement.
Is your keyboard sticky now. Goodbye.
Zippy
You dont even make sense Zippy. When have I lied? Me posting on this board makes my life uneventful - I dont understand how that makes sense. You sound like a 12 year old kid with your sticky keyboard comment. Hell you probably are.
You asked a question about an area you were already familiar with. That is a lie.
However, in my opinion, your visit to NYC is a lie.
Either way, you lied.
Your last comment convinces me of your age and intent on this forum.
Trolls don't get the last word.
