Sligo Town/city is a hellhole - Limerick of the Northwest!
Limerick is one of the places I want to visit because my mom's family came from there and Waterford. I've heard rumors of Limerick.
How rough is it? Would I be in danger of getting carjacked or robbed there 24/7, or is it just a gritty blue collar town?
Keep in mind when I think of city hellholes, I think of places like the Dexter or Brightmoor neighborhoods of Detroit, which is the epidomy of the "inner city" Stereotype.
Maybe its the scenic setting, but I happen to find Sligo a very pleasant spot. I hope it doesn't a bad name just because of this murder. You can get a good hammering in any Irish town at the weekend when all the drunken kids leave the nightclubs.
