Advice on neighborhoods in the city (1 of 2): From a (black) person.

Back when my one lawyer friend from Missouri first moved to the city, she was thinking of getting a job on the edge of a bad neighborhood way to the south of downtown, and she asked her one (African-American) (male) acquaintance about his opinion on her maybe walking a bit to her workplace from the commuter rail line...

"I wouldn't let my wife do that, and she's black," he was like.
