In most other “bad neighborhoods”, you’ll get left alone unless you look like you have money…from what the city cops tell me, Homewood is different. I used to play deck hockey once a week in Springview which is next to Northview Heights…that place is scary. I had to drive through the projects on Rhine Street and always breathed a sigh of relief when I (and my car) made it through okay… Perry South or North is also not great…I.can’t remeber where I was…All I know is that I have a buddy who lives in Brighton Heights and went to go visit him a few years ago…a bridge was out so my friend gave me directions to go a back way…well, let’s just say I ended up in some place that appeared to be the backwoods of WV…the road narrowed so much that only one car fit…barely…and I came upon some guy that was obviously really high or drunk…he was walking in the middle of the road, limping…and was carrying an axe. Not a good combo - a f\*cked up dude carrying an axe. I could do anything but wait for him to get out of road…which he did not do for quite some time. Somehow I got out of there…I think I found a way to turn around and head back the way I came… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/am-i-destined-to-get-shot-or-something-in-oakland/185390)._
