The Twin Cities metro in general may have a lower crime rate than a lot of other metro area but we sure have our share. Once when I lived in the Longfellow neighborhood I pulled a muscle in my back and was in so much pain that I couldn’t even drive. Ended up taking a bus to the emergency room at Abbott Hospital. They gave me Percocet and morphine and sent me on my way. Waiting at the corner of Chicago Avenue and Lake Street for the bus ride home, two squad cars pulled over a vehicle and four cops got out, guns drawn. Everybody else waiting for the bus had good sense and took cover but I, higher than a kite, just stood there fascinated by all the flashing lights.
Just another day in that particular neighborhood.
Lol. Well Chicago and Lake is not exactly the best place to be either :) Most of the city is pretty nice, but that is one of the higher crime areas.
