Worst Areas

Sphynx you need to calm down with every single post in here being about moving to Oberlin. if Oberlin is such a nice place than why are you selling your house there and moving?

Also Fairmont and Lee seemed like a nice place. I have been in that area a few times before.

I remember everyone was talking about how bad Central was too. I was there a while ago when there was still tons of abandoned houses/apartments standing. That had to be in the early or mid 90s. A few years later almost everything was knocked down and later they started building new houses over there which is still continuing now. Im mostly talking about the area around Central Ave. from 30th to 65th street. The block between Central and Cedar from 36th to Ashland rd. was completely abandoned just a few years ago. I think it was completely vacant except for 4 or 5 houses on each block.

I am not a native Clevelander but have lived on both sides of the city. As others have previously stated the term 'worse' is relative to where a person resides. There can be things that are going on in your immediate area that are never broadcast on television or written in the newspaper HOWEVER there are some exceptions. It seems that a greater portion of the St. Clair/Superior Ave neighborhoods (going eastward through Glenville, Collinwood and into East Cleveland) have suffered from higher levels of homicides, burglaries and other dastardly crimes. Drug trafficking is becoming more rampant across the entire city so there is no one particular section that one can pinpoint. Having gone to church in the E. 123rd/Tuscora block it seemed that particular area was heavily involved in drug infiltration. I guess the question really becomes what are we as a people going to do able it and what CAN really be done?
