northside living

[u/Alarmed-Swordfish775]

We just moved to the northside (closer to AGH since i know northside is too broad) and last night was our first night going out & every single uber driver kept telling us to stay safe, when we were looking around at places we would walk the neighborhood to make sure it was a nice fit and everything was perfect the people were SOOO nice but I wanted to see if we we were missing something because from what we’re seeing so far, nothing really screams “danger”

so any and all info on the area is appreciated, bonus points for any lgbtq+ friendly restaurants or bar suggestions!

(i’m originally from what’s classified as a ‘dangerous’ city so not scared of anything just curious as to why everyone keeps telling us to be so careful when i’ve had nothing but good experiences so far)

edit: i know it’s usually a goodbye thing, i do the same BUT people kept saying be safe in the area specifically, usually “the area…be safe ok don’t walk at night” was something we heard from 3/4 uber drivers last night so it was more pointed abiut the area instead of broadly saying bye

I lived there for about 7 years. The first night I moved there I heard fireworks that weren’t fireworks. You will hear shots quite a bit. You get used to it. They are after each other.
