They mean the inner portion of Western Ave, east of i-640, commonly known as "Lonsdale". This area is not as bad as the hype, much safer than Mechanicsville (especially towards Pleasant Ridge). They may be referring to Western Heights, aka "the projects", that borders Mechanicsville on Western Ave. Past 640 is the 'burbs. |

You can pretty much tell the moment you are in a bad area and it seems to hit pretty suddenly in Knoxville. West Knoxville is very nice and aren't too many areas I try to avoid, East Knox is a place you need to be careful of and some areas in North Knox.
Just keep your wits about you and remain aware of your surroundings at all times.

yah, I know... I just moved from Baltimore, and even though it was a nice area the suburb I lived in had it's rough spots and people always looked at me like "oh, you live THERE" LOL--due to it's generalized reputation. So yep, I am still a dork and wanted to "rep" the west side of Western Ave, LOL |
