Haha, that hits close to home. Lakeview has some project problems, but it's not so bad for a project. My car broke down on the Main Avenue Bridge and I had to wait there for a tow. I had no problems and even got a couple "Hey man, everything all right?" looks. I would not take photos on the streets in the actual Lakeview project; ghetto dwellers are funny about that. But it sounds like you're going to be across the old river on the actual Whiskey Island, so I wouldn't worry much about crime spillover at all. And West 65th and West 3rd are quite safe for the city of Cleveland.

Do I need to be fearful of these? Also there's an old foundry along the Shoreway and W. 65th. Will I be okay around there? And West 3rd St along the river? I just want to take a few pictures, that's all.
I am a young white person married to another young white person, and we live on West 65th. It's safe. Area south of Lorain looks a little sketchy but it's just industrial wasteland, nothing to be scared of. Area north of Lorain is fine and gets better the further north you go.

For those who say the Eastside is worse than the Westside...take a trip to the West 28th Projects.

The Eastside is worse than the Westside, but that doesnt mean that there arent really bad areas on the westside, because there are. Those projects as you mentioned, parts of the near westside especially around storer ave. and around W130th Bellaire/Puritas isnt nice either. Areas off of Lorain ave. and Madison ave. Theres other spots on the westside also. But a huge part of the Eastside is almost entirely very bad.

A city doesnt become 7th most dangerous by having an entire side of the city thats nice. There are rough areas on the Westside, but the Eastside is much worse.
