With this talk of paid parking and free parking, can some of the locals of
the area give me an idea of the "safeness" of the area? Is this part of town
the kind of area you'd be better off with secured parking? I don't mind
paying a few dollars to park if I know it's going to lower the risk of a
broken window or such.
I know every town/city has these kind of issues, but just wanted to know if
this area is one of the more prone to trouble areas. For example here in the
Metro Atlanta area I wouldn't dream of parking my car outside over night in
downtown Atlanta, but in most of the outlying communities I wouldn't have
such an issue with it.
