no i’m saying are there gangs? yes. should she be afraid of gangs messing with her? no. should she still be smart and aware like one should in any city? yes

tell me where i said its not safe. i told her not to go out after dark, as is the same exact advice all me and my neighbors follow. i also told her how nice it is. are you sure youre responding to the right person????

​

also- why do i have to "prove it". you're being insufferable. get off my comment im just trying to help he rout and youre being a dick.

Clark and it’s surrounding areas are safe for people not involved in
street/gang activity, and that’s just the facts .

by your argument the area os completely safe from gang activity if you arent in a gang. so she must be all set then.

you are literally arguing against me, and then using my exact argument to try to prove your self right? this is bizarre.

and clark is actually one of the better ones out of all of them, so you’d be doing your kid a disservice

Not really. Compared to all the other colleges / university's neighbors, Clark's is the one I would have reservations sending my daughter to.

you’re telling her it’s not safe, if that’s true you can prove it right?

are you... are you serious with this right now? im having a hard time articulating a response to this bc it is so off the wall i almost think you're trolling me.

I guess because i personally dont know anyone or because i cant link the "news story" then an area is totally safe? is this what you're implying? i meannnnn

when did anyone say anywhere was 100% safe? she should be smart enough to know that. Just play it smart and she’ll be ok. I’m not triggered, y’all just trying to scare this girl with false information.

This has been my experience as well, living mostly in “less than desirable” parts of Worcester since 2009. I think I felt anxious about it the first few months having grown up in the suburbs, then it was fine. If you’re not in a gang and you’re just a normal person who works and/or goes to school, your chances of being involved in a crime or attacked on the street are considerably low.

and yea i’m pretty educated on this. I started one of the largest gangs in the city in my youth.. now i’m old and reformed. but i still keep my ear to the street.

Show me where someone has been attacked? Show her? We’ll wait

You’ll be fine there. There’s a number of Clark owned buildings on those blocks. Be smart at night and you’ll be ok.

nothing is 100% safe and shes asking for tips on how to keep safe in the area. You arent the only person who lives/works there.

Why are you so triggered?

Olo is the best pizza in Worcester pretty generous giving Frankie's a 5. I would give them a 3.5 honestly

ok buddy. you sound very educated about this. again /s

not that it matters, but im literally typing this from the area right now. Did you read all the nice things I said about it?

So as long as its not a war zone then its safe? Go away.

yes hookers, officers i mean.

She can listen to y’all who don’t even go near the area and just go off rumor and innuendo, or she can take it from someone who actually goes to the area and knows the gangs in the area. Clark and it’s surrounding areas are safe for people not involved in street/gang activity, and that’s just the facts .

This. Born and raised here and the bad rep that main south has that gets repeated is obnoxious at this point.

so if it’s so dangerous, post the news articles of people being attacked in that area that’s not actively in a gang… Cuz y’all just feeding her bullshit and don’t even go near the area. I’m not telling her to not be smart. I’m telling her it’s not a warzone like some of you weirdos are telling her

Yes, gangs are notorious for being non-violent and non-confrontational to unfamiliar people in their territory. /s

And even so, the chance of being a bystander or just having literally anything else happen to a young girl at night in the worst area of a big new city is enough to show concern.

Thats a very naive piece of advice to give...

not true y’all putting extra sauce on it

She has no reason to worry if she’s not actively in a gang. They tend to leave the civilians alone.

you’ll be fine in that area.. there’s def crackheads around that side of town.. but that area is generally safe if you’re not into street activity

Yea you’ll be fine.. there’s def crackheads over there but for the most part you’re good.. Clark police patrol pretty often

Not safe for the past 50 years.
