Where not to go in Pittsburgh (Wilkinsburg, Oliver: where to stay, violent crime, neighborhood)

[slykryk]

Hello,

I just moved to Pittsburgh for the summer. I am living in allegheny center on the northside which is just a few blocks above the baseball stadium. Anyway, I just want to know where I should not go when I am exploring the city. Ive read a lot of things so far, but I wanted to consolidate all this information with a general consensus of where to stay away from.

Main areas I've heard are really bad are the hills, manchester, and federal st.

thanks!

I've lived here a long time and never realized there were maps like this available. Nice to know.

Federal Street on the North Side, Climax street and nearby areas in Mt. Oliver, and East Liberty and Wilkinsburg are the big areas I tend to avoid. Parts of the areas are ok just certain pockets seem dangerous. When I used to work as a case manager, those are the areas we knew to be extra careful in.
