The area near McGovern Park?

What area has most of the murders taken place in the city of Milwaukee?

I'm hearing Metcalfe area is bad. When did it go bad? When did it become this way?

Before Metcalfe park, what was the most dangerous area of Milwaukee? What is the 2nd and 3rd most dangerous areas?

A friend of mine told me there's some kind of bridge Whites created on Locust to segregate Blacks to lower-class, ghetto area back in the old days to keep them out of the higher class area. Where is this bridge? I don't know what she's talking about. My dad referred to some bridge on the south side but locust isn't on the south side.

Apparently there was some area called Bronzeville where African Americans used to live but they destroyed it to build I-94. Where did the African Americans move to?

The North Division neighborhood. How is this area?

Bronzeville was recreated. The old Bronzeville was Walnut Street and yes it was destroyed by the freeway cutting through it. This Wikipedia link is pretty accurate:

You already asked this in a thread you resurrected from 2008.
