[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed felt very safe.  I lived there when I graduated college in 2002.  I never felt like I would get mugged or anything and um definitely made some poor laid night decisions.  [/quote]

Same and same. I don't know if I felt super safe because it was safe or because I was young and felt invulnerable. But I too made some poor laid night decisions. They were definitely fun, though!

I was in grad school in NYC in the late 90s, stayed until 2002. I am one of the only people I knew from that time who left after 9/11, but I got so freaked out - they found anthrax in the building where I worked, then that plane came crashing down in Queens. We had bomb scares on the subway. I was already kind of an emotional mess at the time, but it just got to be too much for me. I should have gone to therapy - instead, I just left and moved somewhere quiet and warm.

I wonder if young people still feel safe, the way I did. It was so fun being young there, then. I hope they're having a good time, too.[/quote]
