Are we talking scary or dangerous? Does scary automatically qualify an area as dangerous (or the other way around)?

There are areas of Omaha, and especially Council Bluffs, Iowa (across the river from Omaha) that have an aura of creepiness about them, but they are by no means dangerous.

Across from my apt on E. 6th St (in NYC) is the a halfway house, when you look on the sexual predator website that point lights up brighter than anything else, so when I come home and they're all hanging outside on the street I cross over...

Avoid Birkenhead North. That's my advice.

And Tranmere.

I wouldn't advise visiting Birkenhead town centre at night either, if I were you.

Not that its anything to write home about during the day, mind.

You'll all be relieved to know that I live in a much nicer part of town.

Avoid the Carter Lake area of North Omaha.

The dumpster makes me pee in me pants. That is one scary neighborhood.

Living in a pleasant village for the win. The rowdiest citizens are the birds in the trees.

i found parts of san bernadino quite scary what with crazy people walking around and stray dogs hunting for tourists in packs.
