Ok, Im sorry for posting my experiences. I didn't realize it was against the rules.

Wont happen again.

I appoligize SuperMario ,I may have come off alittle "rude" as I recived a warning about it too lol. I just didnt see the reason for the post, it just seemed like it was leaning away from being informative and geared more towards just talkin about how "hood" the area is which I didnt understand.

The topic is about ghettos. That is why I posted it here. I wouldn't go out my way to post something like that in a thread where its not relevant.

But its ok

Sometimes we can get off track; but I think SuperMario's post was relevant and informative. People do seem interested in the realities of the hood. And it doesn't get any more real than that.

Just don't do it alone. Your farmboy from Nebraska vibe is going to be like a flashing neon sign. Even in daylight, do not go alone. You will crap in your pants if you walk through some of the tougher ghettos alone. Not that there will even be any real threat, but the tenants there will play with you a bit just to feel you out. Expect that.

I used to have to regularly go to one of the more "ghetto" areas to run an errand for my boss. Without fail, every single time, I'd have people saying stuff to me and feelin' me out. Sometimes more scary than others. Perfectly understandable; I was an oddball in their community. If I hadn't been a city boy with street smarts I would have read their actions and words totally differently. DON'T DO IT ALONE.

I wonder whatever happened to this guy.. we haven't heard from him in a while, maybe he went down the wrong block...

Hang around Yankee Stadium late at night and ask a passer-by where the nearest ATM is.
