The uptown area is always lively and has fantastic food options within walking distance. The trolley will is an easy and free way to travel within Uptown and to Downtown as well.

The gate at my apartment complex is always broken so I've taken out the trash a few times to find a homeless person in there. Even in uptown there's scary people walking around the area. I've gotten myself pepper spray since moving too this area to feel a little more secure.
