I have a question after reading this whole thread. I told my mom that I was thinking of moving "to the South" (yeah I don't consider El Paso the south, I barely consider it part of TX...lol) and she cautioned me automatically.
I guess my mom's had some bad experiences (of course this was back in the late 70's, early 80's) traveling in those areas.
I'm like my grandmother---i'm more open to visiting places i've never been. My mom told me that she and my grandmother visited Louisville (i wanna say it was in the mid- 90s, but I'm not sure) and my grandmother wanted to take the bus & just ride it to see where it took her. The front desk person told her it wasn't safe.
Call me naive or whatever, but is it still like that in many places? I know all cities have their bad areas, but I'm used to a city that, even in the "bad" areas, you can still walk around and feel relatively safe.
