Nice post. Just not enough to dispel the myths.

That guy goes out of his way to try to prove that crappy parts of town are nice, and that crime really does not exist, it's all made up...

You ever get that video that shows off the "real" Seminole Heights? I'm eagerly awaiting to see a video that doesn't cherry pick certain areas.

Crime is everywhere you find people. Crappy parts of town exist but if you dont live there whats the difference?

I'm not out to prove anything just to keep the Negative Nellie's honest.

Maybe someone can help me here but what exactly do a few poorly-placed camera angles of Centro Ybor, a street corner, and a shirtless dude playing guitar have to do with the topic at hand? If you're trying to prove that Ybor City is a safe, family-friendly destination with amateur videography, you have a long way to go.

Just... wow.

I could set up similar shots in Southeast DC at Waterside Mall, which is a hell hole. What would that prove?

Well, besides being a $hitty area of town, Ybor is a matter of personal taste too...
There is not enough money in the world to convince me to go down there...Not enough.

I've got better things to do than argue with some internet keyboard commando...

Exactly, and apparently he has a relative that lives in the ghetto, but was never robbed... so there's no crime there

The lifestyle not being for you and it being a gang-ridden, dilapidated wasteland are two very different things.
