moved to Harlem and regret it?

[long beach finest]

^^ Julybaby1982,

Im glad you are having a good experience. Many on here including myself dont see harlem as a desirable place. Harlem is also "real small" so I dont why people are saying north,south etc. Its too small for that. Manhattan itself is not the biggest place either.

It's kind of an area by area basis, meaning two or four street blocks and part of an avenue.

Nahh it's mostly block by block....with a couple good areas. Rest are bad. It's getting better overall though.

I know, but we live in one of the good "areas," lower (but not lowest) Convent.
Side streets a mixed bag.

Yeah so at the end of the day, the entire Harlem is one big mixed bag. It's not entirely good or entirely bad. That's really my point.

someone with the knowledge of harlem safety should modify this map to block by block basis that everyone always mentions in every harlem thread

I think you will enjoy it if you move there?
