Bardstown Road/Goldsmith Lane Area (Louisville, Newburg: live, activity, ghetto)

[cindiv]

I grew up in Louisville but moved away as a child. I have several relatives there and a cousin that wants me to visit. I'm reluctant to visit where she lives now because I've heard that the Bardstown Rd/Goldsmith Lane area is now ghetto. Can someone tell me what the area is like now because I haven't visited in well over 20 yrs. Thank You

sadly, the Newburg area has been the refuge of many that are very poor. I'd not recommend late night walks but its not as bad as the word ghetto would lead one to believe. The peoples in that area are not violent in the extreme way; just lots of drug activity and petty $ crime.
