Funny thing, I'm doing a road trip SF to DC via Nola and ATL, and my dad's really worried b/c Nola has the highest murder rate in the US, and ATL "is really dangerous in certain neighborhoods". True, but the key as always is to know where to go and not to go. People live in these places and manage to get by, but some places are rougher than others while other zones have their chic districts or their gentry. It's all about situational awareness and learning from the scouting of others. And I'm hoping the same will apply on my SF-TdF voyage =)
Also, thanks for the warm welcome!
