Post subject: | Safety of the streets after dark |
There was recently a post in which a guy said he would not walk the streets after dark, period. Said you should take a cab, even between the BM and the Prez. Is it that bad? I was there last week and was out after dark--early, like before 9 p.m.--and stayed in that core area around the BM, the Prez, etc. and had no problem. Wouldn't I be safe if I get a girl at the BM at say, 8 p.m., and we walk to the Prez, where I will be staying? I know better than to try to walk to Idem alone at night (it may even be smarter to do a cab to Idem if you are alone, even in the day ). And I know not to be walking through Morazon Park at night, but BM to the Prez? Do I really need a cab for that ![]() Pinellasguy |

Shit can happen anywhere in the world in any city...but unless you are crippled or just hugely paranoid...I would never take a taxi one block from the Delrey to the Presidente. IMHO, that is way overboard. ON the otherhand, I would not walk alone to IDEMs (unless I"m only a block or 2 away) after dark. With a buddy or two, no problem. Come here, be careful but not paranoid, and dont carry around more than you would want to lose to a robber or other danger...just like any major city in the USA after dark. This all is well documented in many threads on this board. Just do a search on "safety" to see numerous threads on the subject. |

The K*ds that want to mug you are; 1. Out late 2. looking for an easy mark 3. looking for a weak person 4. looking for a drunk 5. looking for someone coming out of a casino with a shitload of cash. Don't walk alone into dark areas late at night - If it after 10 or so, take a cab. Like Tman says, its highly unusual that anything will happen to you from the BM to the Pres. - unless, your totaly wasted and its very late at night. Last word: Just use common sense. LVSteve |

Just wondering...has anyone ever heard of anyone taking a taxi from the DR to the KL or Morazon? That would be funny! |
