Myrtle is closer to the art school and a little more tame.

I live down by Fulton and Grand (not exactly, but approximately). On Sunday my girlfriend witnessed a triple shooting/homicide outside of the laundrymat (Clean Rite!) that she had just walked into. That corner, Putnam and Grand, is a pretty notorious drug spot.
In spite of the creeping "gentrification" of Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy and South burg, this stuff does actually happen. I know we like to think it's Sesame St. and eveything, but people DO get bottles thrown at them, and cats do get shot. Kids get gunned down in playgrounds b/c they get caught in drive-by crossfire.
Don't get me wrong. I love where I live. I'm just saying.

it aint a bad neighborhood, i mean im two blocks to pratt, and my building is full of 19 year old freshmen art students. however, the further east you travel, the more ghetto it becomes. and i do hear gunshots every so often. but no roosters thank god.

2 blocks from pratt = pretty safe zone...especially when you're on 2 wheels.
the real targets will be the 1st year students and those who came here from beyond our borders. even then, one never can tell whats gonna happen around here.
