People who are new to the area or just passing through have no idea. It never fails that if I take the wrong exit, it's going to be in the meanest, roughest part of town. Once I took the wrong exit in New Orleans and could not figure out how to get back on the interstate. It was pretty tense for a while. Not a good experience. All I can think of is that scene in National Lampoon's Vacation, where they steal the hubcaps off of the car while the family is still in it.

Anyway, I'd pay money for this app, just in case I have to go to Kansas City or St. Louis one day.

GTA Tracker. So if you need to know where your missing car is located, there's an app for that.

People who don't live in the region. People do travel, you know.

this is something whites never understand.

you cannot run from crime.

i lived in a 95 percent white city, upper middle class, no crime, growing up and i had my car robbed twice with an attempted house break in once.

the white ended up getting tripped up eventually after he was robbing another car and got caught.

you can use your little gadget and apps, but crime will catch up with you, regardless if its the ghetto or your white enclaves.

No, but you can do your best to not put yourself in worse situations than you have to.

Good lord.

I've had no problems avoiding problem areas for 48 years without a phone app.

I mean, what did people do before they had cell phones? March willy nilly right into Skid Row?

Pretty soon you'll need a phone app to remember how to eat, breathe, and take a dump.

What did people do? They made mistakes, and it usually turned out ok..but sometimes didn't. That could have been avoided with the app.
