Interesting posts as usual. I have always watched films/ movies where Harlem is painted as a dangerous place to live. Is this true? What security tips do you advise for someone visiting Harlem if he doesnt have any relative staying there. What can someone do in order not to attract the wrong people? Some places in Lagos and Warri, if you are asking for directions to a place you become a target. When rushing to enter public transport in Lagos, pickpockets are busy doing their thing. How is it in Harlem? |

NYC....MTA... city buses. All cater for the handicapped. Buses can 'kneel'.... have hydraulics to lower front of bus to allow easy entry for the elderly etc....and the stairs can unfold and flip out to allow even easier access but mainly used for wheel chair access. 2 Likes

Electroweb:Every Black community is portrayed as dangerous ... until the Whites begin to move in. On danger... I'll answer you this way... there is no area in Lagos .... all of Lagos bar none... that is safer than the worse area of Harlem.... but hey...not saying it is crime free! Security tips...I really don't know what to say!.... they'll know you are a visitor... local and international tourists be up in Harlem 24/7...they're used to that...and many are making Harlem their home..I'll advise a visitor just don't be a damn fool or naive. .. if he/she is..then they need someone to take them around or they would be scammed sooner or later... not lose their life or anything like that... just scammed. Feel free to ask for directions... the worse that can happen is ...people would brush you off because they are in a hurry...all NYC is like that.... or some people ...who may be visitors just like you...may give you wrong directions. You may even ask the 'thugs' for directions... they'll even give you short cuts... but noo... they wouldn't try to rob you! Pickpockets... yes... if you enter crowd with bag open and your wallet exposed... somebody may pick it..all.NYC..and I guess in any crowd anywhere in the world. Phones... especially women... stick it in their back pockets on the street... but take it out in a crowd....common sense.Lastly, if you ever visit NYC...I strongly advise you stay in Harlem... you wouldn't regret it. 7 Likes |

NYC...Harlem. ..dedicated to Electroweb!.... happen to capture a photo reply to your query! Guy in white top and backpack is a visitor... was going the wrong way and asked for directions... first asked the girl in yellow...then the guy in green/white and the one next to him chimed in and redirected him.... here they are all on their separate ways. Visitor is a Spanish speaker...the rest bilungual...Spanish/English. Note girl's ehmmm...iPhone 10 halfway stuck in her back pocket!...that's common. 1 Like
