"Watts is hip and trendy, too. /s"

- Just like South Central and Compton has become hip. Everyone in the world know them and regard them as exiting.

When I and my ex-girlfriend went to Miami in the 1990's, I was told several times to avoid certain areas.

Well, we did NOT and we found out people there were very friendly - just like they were in tourist and middle class parts of town. When they found out we were tourists from Sweden, they seemed proud that we would bother to have a look at their neighborhood while in the US.

Of course, severe crime exists in the US like elsewhere, but sometimes I think Americans wacth too much American movies.
