BH, I didn't even know that was directed to me....

My friends happen to come in all colors, like a rainbow. My xboyfriend was a crack addict, unless you have an addict in your life, you have no idea what you learn about crime, very fast.......

Most of the crime in Bradenton/SRQ is driven by drug addiction. Pills are more popular in SRQ and I believe there's more meth use going in Bradenton due to the cost of meth compared to crack & herion.

I hate to rag on like this but if people want to know the truth, I'm not here to sugar coat what I've experienced in Manatee county.

I didn't know all that. I think the comment was directed toward you, and it was unfounded based on what you had mentioned. Now it really seems unfounded. You've always been fair about you comments about the area.

Look, any where around
bradenton bites. Cortez and 41? Holy !@#!. The places you would like or need you must travel thru awful areas, It reminds me of a very dirty rug that needs to be pressure washed and sun dried. Anything east of Natalie on 53rd becomes reasonable. Or Rivers edge (again you keep having to go thru areas)... I am often thinking of a country home with multiple cars and German Sheps running the perimeter..

We were truly disappointed when we were there for a visit. I lived in Bradenton in the 80's and it was clean, friendly, non frightful. I did not recognize some areas. But we are fully aware that everytown has it's bad points and sides. Looking forward to our move to Sarasota.
