Which Part of Your Neighbourhood is Scariest After Dark?

About which place do you instinctively say "no WAY am I going there at THIS time. What are you, CRAZY?"

Danny Himself · 06.20.2007, 07:16 PM

Sefton Park.

Creepy children from 1904 hang around there, as photographed here.

I have a friend who lives on this estate in Speke in Liverpool. The way he describes it definitely makes it look pretty shady.

Danny Himself · 06.20.2007, 07:39 PM

Yeah, Speke is a huge sprawling ex-council estate. The streets are run not by the police but by the SRC- 'Speke Riot Crew'. It's an awful place.

People from Speke are generally known as 'sock robbers' throughout the other areas of Liverpool.

demonrail666 · 06.20.2007, 08:56 PM

My mate tells me stories about it that are so awful you just have to laugh. He himself is as rough as fuck, but a really good bloke. And funny as fuck, which is probably why I can't stop laughing whenever he describes really awful stuff.

Anyway. There's nowhere around where I live now that's that bad, but there are parts of Plaistow/West Ham where I was brought up that are pretty diabolical at any time of day or night.

my own house, of course. i've got prisoners in the basement.

Hanging out in Croydon town centre at night can be pretty ghastly- loads of lagered-up geezers and middle-class pseudo "gangsterz". No gayers allowed.

virtually any town or city centre in england is scary after darkness falls.

gorlitzer park in berlin also made me feel somewhat uneasy.

Tokolosh · 06.21.2007, 04:47 AM

For the most part, my neighbourhood is pretty relaxed. There's a couple of junkies, dealers and brazilian whores that roam the streets at night, but nothing serious. There have been a couple of stickups, but I don't think anyone dares to fuck with me.

Mile End Road is a shithole at night. Gangs on the buses and you better not be gay or you're dead. It's not rare to see the local gay pub with a crack on the window, or aggressive behaviour on the street.

Mile End Road is indeed horrible. I had to walk home from Stratford station the other week and went through Mile End. Genuinely nasty, whether you're gay or not. I lived there for a couple of years about fifteen years ago and if anything it's got worse.

I laughed until the tears ran dry.

ON TOPIC: north, south and especially east of me is all gangsta, but I just flash them signs and they let me pass.

Our bedroom.

the only creepy parks here are the ones where elementary school teachers go to pick up trannies.*

*disclaimer: not that those in search of trannies do not deserve such a place, but I personally wouldn't want to go there after dark.

there are plenty of places that you probly wouldnt want to venture into in birmingham at any time of day. its all mainly to do with race though. so if youre white, youd be better off not strolling around lozels, nechells etc.
for those of a different race, there are a fair few places that they would probly not want to wander around too.

val-holla-ing · 06.21.2007, 10:22 AM

there's a place right by campus where all these junkies and gutterpunks live and they're notorious for beating people and taking their money at random times during the night. i'd be more comfortable walking down my old drug and violence infested street, where no one messed with anyone else unless it was drug related, than this shit hole.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 06.21.2007, 10:41 AM

The trail going to the skate park. During the day theres a bunch of drunks down there drinking, so at night I can only imagine. There's no lights there either, so it's quite scarey looking.
