Help! I signed a lease in Northside........

[eem150]

Well here's an update. It's real funny some of you think I am young, single, and white when I didn't give any of that info! I have a fiance that will be living with me. I have been moved in for two weeks and I couldn't be happier with the apartment. Getting to the area looks bad- Federal St Ext is not a place I would hang out... But my building is extremely well lit and secure, not to mention next to a school with round the clock security guards. It is a pain not to be able to go to the local convenience store, but McKnight rd is two exits away. My commute to work is suprisingly a breeze. The surroundng area is definitly unsafe, but I found a great place to live. By the way TRO Z, i have a nice .30-06 rifle laying under my bed that I am quite capable of using...

Well lets just hope you never have to use that... Perry Hilltop is a rough area...Probably the worst area of the N.Side...

I have viewed a few beautiful homes & apartment buildings in that area, so I'm sure your apt. is great...the only problem is the surroundings...So just be careful...And please dont let us read in the paper some lady shot a guy in the N. Side with a 30-06

Sadly, I agree. Perry Hilltop is a very volitile area.

Or worse, someone shoots a young lady with her own 30-06. Most people don't realize that using a weapon increases their chances of betting hurt. The weapon is most often used on the victim who intended to defend themselves with it. 1/3 of gunshot victims are shot with their own guns.
