Another Stellar List appearance for Jacksonville/Most Dangerous Neighborhood

[Ocklawaha]

It's that darn convention center! All those murdering boat show guys are going to destroy the city.

The news in this town is a complete joke. I've never seen such sloppy reporting or misinformation. I just happened to run across this poll yesterday searching for a related item. I didn't realize it was new. I was just relieved it wasn't Springfield for once. The poll is definitely skewed as that area is a wasteland. What's effed up is that area is primed for development and this might scare off potential investment.

Hey, Brooklyn park is finished?

JSO is calling shenanigans on this study. It does seem a bit skewed, but like someone said earlier, I don't want to go walk around unarmed in that area at night either.

It seems like a lot of these neighborhoods are high traffic areas with little to no population density.  More than half of neighborhood #5 is a cemetery and the suffounding area has almost no residential space.  Neighborhood #20 has lots of commercial space, not a lot of residential and an interstate running along the western edge.  Can't help but notice the similarity between them and Lavilla.

Hanging around the old Jacksonville Terminal day or evening, I've NEVER had any fears in this deadly "hood". I know most of the homeless, know their names, give them Christmas gifts, or other little token things that let them know someone cares. I've been hugged by some of the smelliest, dirty men and women on earth and I wouldn't have it any other way. Only once was any danger even hinted, when a professional girl warned me that two women approaching from the brush were known theives. "Make sure your car is locked...those two are no good."

Down in the Myrtle Avenue Subway, I've been passed by many times, still NOTHING. Up on Myrtle toward Beaver or Forest, NOTHING. Stopped down that way with Mr. Stephendare and we photographed some old buildings and again, not fear one. Even in tunnels under the old station, perfect hiding places for... well...hell, whatever. As I said, except for a few Hobo Jungles and the very few surviving residences, NOBODY LIVES in this place. JSO is right, something very weird about those numbers.

I don't plan to change my pattern so if I come up missing, somebody get a shovel! LOL!

JSO thiks that the story is completely false, judgin by their own data and experiences.

I would expect most of the violent crimes in that area to be homeless on homeless.

Hmm. Lets See.....Trinity Rescue Mission,  Genovar's Hall ( the shell of)   4 or 5 boarded up Shotgun Houses... Yep.  That is a really REALLY rough area there... I don't think we should even risk driving through there during the daytime.   

Id be more afraid of University Blvd. N and the Merrill Road Intersection , personally.. But I ll remember to lock my doors and wear a bullet-proof vest while traveling through what remains of LaVilla.
