Downtown Columbus crime continues to escalate.....why?
Riverwalk area robbery and assaults continue to rise to highest levels since built according to several local police officers...
Drunks and homeless living in restroom areas as well so please be careful before entering!!
The one along Riverwalk in Bibb City area has as many as 15-20 a night!!
Are you just blind? Downtown is the best it has ever been. Once the new lofts/condos are finished on the river, the new YMCA, etc., it will be an amazing place. CSU's new campus, the RiverCenter, new convention center expansion, and the new restaurants/bars/clubs have all added to the downtown scene. It is a great place to go on the weekends.
Unfortunately canned promotional pictures hide the ugly truth that all columbus citizens know about the downtown uptown or whatever they call it next week.
Fort Benning announced last week they are going to put the downtown area on their off limits listing to military personnel unless the city cleans the area up and beefs up safety as several military families have been robbed/carjacked etc after having dinner(especially near the 12 and 13th street areas).please be careful!!
Atlcol1 is putting decent folks in harms way just to win an argument...
Very sad.....you should be ashamed
Next he will telling everyone how the restored victory drive area is a nice place to buy a house and raise a family...rofl
Give us all a break.

i see this a lot on CDF. dangerous areas reported on CDF are contested by other posters as safe.

You keep talking about new looks/appearance and not safety.....2 completely different subjects.
Try walking up the beautful Riverwalk from 13th up past TSYS campus on any day of the week.....if you dare.
I know police officers who won't even do it....lol
What does CDF stand for? I can't wait to see how dangerous downtown is. Of course, having lived ITP(Inside the perimeter) of ATL quite a few years back, my reality and that of someone who has never lived in an urban area, probably differ substantially.
You people amaze me. I have been downtown more than any of you, and I have never felt uneasy at all. Columbus is a city, and in a city there is crime. People who are out at 3AM are only looking for trouble. Columbus is safe, but just like any good sized city, it can become dangerous at night. Powerplay, give it up man, you are ridiculous.
What does CDF stand for?? I agree if your out at 3 AM bad things can happen. But, I have left clubs in ATL way later than that and have never been a victim of a violent crime.
