There is enough of a hispanic population in Northern KY that Biggs now carries an entire section in their grocery store dedicated to Hispanic foods and US Bank installed new ATM's in Northern KY (about 8 years ago) that are in English and Spanish, and the DMV has their instructional information in English and Spanish.

I know this is an old thread but I just have to say that Cinci"expert" is not an expert on Northern KY. You're right Patty. There is enough of a hispanic population in Northern KY to make a difference. Also, I am a teacher in a NKY middle school and I am well aware (not oblivious) that there is plenty of gang activity. In fact, tonight on channel 5 news, they are featuring a story on gang activity (of course they're focusing on Cinci, so I guess the expert missed that).

As for the redneck comment Cinci"expert" that's really mature. Who is oblivious? And who reads for comprehension? Expert HA!

ETA: I was doing some research on gang activity and that is how I came about this thread btw. I couldn't let the expert get away with his/her misinformation. My school is about 25% or more hispanic btw.

Is Fountain an area that is full of gangs?

Fountain Blvd...yes. Fountain, Widefield, Security no. I know several who still don't lock their vehicles or houses because of how safe they feel down here. That doesn't mean there aren't any gang members...I know they live all over the city. I used to teach at an alternative high school where most of my students where gang members. The majority of gang bangers live in school district 2 and district 11. However, there are some in every district.
