Baltimore is a very scary place at times. Parts of it anyway.

Another place that frightens me is Chicago.

My aunt would not let me go to the U of Chicago for a look see when I was living with her in Itasca in IL in late 1994. I was taking care of my uncle before he went into a nursing home. No spot was available yet. Itasca was quite safe for the most part.

Love the Villages as it is the safest place I have ever lived in over the years.

I lived in a probably one of the best suburbs in Baltimore, it was Bel Air, and in 2016 two cops were ambushed and killed inside a Panera's next to Wegmans a 1/2 mile from my old house.

I usually try to avoid seeing or reading about these events, there's really nothing we can do about it. I even hate when I see someone start a thread like "Forget About Getting Fired", what good did that do, other than rile up a few people who live 1500 miles away. I wish those threads were never allowed. It's always the same posters, they stay quiet until something bad happens in the country and they quick to jump on the topic and post their views like they're know-it-alls. I wish that thread was closed right now,
