My rule of thumb: Be wary of any place on a bus line.
Side story: There was a big, beautiful indoor mall not too far from me. Well, one day the owners stupidly decided to place a bus stop near one of the entrances.
Crime exploded at the mall. Muggings, shoplifting, car thefts, etc. A friend of mine was a local police officer. He told me to stay away from the mall on Friday and Saturday evenings. Just stay away.
The mall is now closed and bordered up. That was due to many factors. But that bus stop played a big part.
Fix to #26: The mall is now closed and boarded up.
(Autocorrect got me again.)
