Ahhhh, nothing like a stroll thru Morzon park after midnight, its like an acid trip, err something.... LMAO!

I know i push the limits, but i like to walk! I live near Miami... i dont drink ( 1 or 2 beers a trip avg)... i walked with 2 friends during the day into some God forsaken looking parts of town, looked like post nuclear disaster world.... ( the Mp tour)
i kept saying , " i think we should turn back".... but we pressed on, it was fun and no problems : )

i feel safe, but DONT WALK AT NIGHT!

(is there a section where people put stories about bad things happening?)

Pick one; many are in the Newbi or General sections of the board....or do a search - there are some on the board.

The "however" is almost always, the story of bad things happening starts with:

"It was real late at night, I was alone, really drunk, and......"

Most of the bad stories/things that happen could be avoided if the guy used a little common sense, and was not drunk - that seems to be the constant in every bad thing happening story :)

However, I am just curious to the hazards if a person does walk at night.
Is is the number of attackers, weapons or how do you confront people at night.



One of the most frequent discussions on this board. In my mind it always comes down to this:

1. no matter where you are, you almost always take more risk walking vs. taking a cab (hell i almost broke my ankle in a pothole walking to KL)
2. a cab in SJ is about $2 - $5 depending
3. is the extra risk (however small) worth $2-$5 ?
4. walk if you want to walk, but don't do it to save $2

I have to say some of you guys are funny, I just got back from San Jose and didn't see half of the crime reported on this site. I live in Washington DC and hell I see more on a Sunday night here then what I saw in a week in San Jose, Most of you guys come from crime ridden cities Chicago, Miami, New York, Los Angeles,Philly, Houston, other parts of Texas, and all other major US cities stop the bullshit you all have seen worse.
