Sometimes I hate where I live because it is the "hood". Not the worst hood in town, but the "hood" none the less.
Then I realized something. Within 1 mile from my house I can:
1) Go to the bank
2) Go to the liquor store
3) Get fast food
4) Get barbeque
5) Get Chinese
6) Go to the pharmacy (For both prescription and illegal drugs. One sells beer. The other meets you at the corner)
7) Go to the grocery store
8) Go to the Doctor
9) Go to the Dentist
10) Go to several bars ranging from boring to dive
11) Go to a park.
12) Walk along a stream with trout in it
13) Catch a bus downtown.
14) Buy cloths
15) Buy guns and ammo
16) Return my empty beer cans
17) Get my drivers license renewed
18) Buy pizza
19) Buy a new cell phone
20) Buy parts for my car
21) Wash my car
22) Get my hair cut
23) Get a blow job ($20)
24) Drop off my old cloths at the rescue mission
25) See a Lawyer
26) See a Podiatrist
27) Watch homeless people steal grocery carts and then ditch them. (I'm thinking about opening a "Used Grocery Cart Lot" cuz I know where there are at least a half dozen of them!)
28) Go to the library (free music man)
29) Walk to all of the above, if necessary
I think it's not so bad after all.
Here's a toast to my "hood"!

Re: Where I live
I've incidentally or accindentally lived in the hood before too. It depends on your perference really, but I too like access to more shit quicker in exchange for... whatever's bad about living in the hood. safety, or something.

Pictures or you are full of shit.
If you don't have a camera, a sketch of said 'hood will work in a pinch.

And afterwords we can run amok! Or if you're too tired, we can walk amok.

Sounds like a little slice of heaven. Supposing you have shit worth keeping, buy yourself an automated security system and renter's insurance, and you should be just fine.

Re: Where I live
I live in a crappy little town, but I too, can buy cloths. Seriously, living in the sticks got better when the internet hit, but only by about 50% or so.

Re: Where I live
Pictures? WTF am I CNN? I would post some but my digitalis camera is not turning on. Since I just purchase a 30 pack of Keystone Ice within said mile, I shall; trouble shoot that issue later.
I've been living here since July of last year. Only heard gun shots in the middle of the night once, so far, and nobody has tried to steal my shit- yet- not that I have much to steal.
But, there's a boarded up house on every block, including one directly across from my house. All I hear is thumpping rap music from every other vehicle that goes by, all hours of the day and night, and while I do have some white Neighbors I have just as many Afro/Rican/Latino crossbreeds as Neighbors too. The older whites came many years ago when it was all white and now can't afford to leave.
I came here because it's cheap and close to everything, including work, and I'm not afraid of anybody. When they start shooting at me, then maybe I'll leave.
I've actually lived in worse Neighborhoods, so this is a piece of cake.

The cabin sits shut-down, cold-frozen and empty, dead mice in the traps, waiting for me to drink alone there in the dark.

Re: Where I live
Our next-door neighbors got foreclosed upon, and the new people decorate their front yard with cars missing things like fenders, and fast food wrappers. They have a ginormously long driveway, but do they use it? Hell no! Their dirt backyard is full of old paint buckets, rusting metal something-or-others, chunks of unidentifiable stuff--which they actually pulled out of the U-Haul moving van and put back there, though they have of course added to the POS (Pile of Shit (tm) ) since then. Their front second story window has one of those silver automobile dashboard shades, smack-dab in the middle of it. Of course their chintzy little indoor Christmas lights still droop from the front porch. The little light-up sign our former neighbors planted on the lawn, that spelled out their address, tilts at 45 degrees, and has lost all its numbers. For a long time after they moved in, their living room windowscreen hung halfway out of the frame. They have a hell of a weed farm growing out front. For a while, the weeds were three feet tall. No kidding. Well, I could go on, but I think instead that I shall go light a candle and pray to Saint Jude, that they should find a sudden need to move somewhere else.
