Seriously - incredible stories from many here at DU.

I grew up in a pretty calm family and neighborhoods. All the trouble I was involved in was me learning about the real world - later.

Wonderful childhood...I kind of lived a protective bubble.

Dad died when I was 11, and I started finding out about people at that point. It wasn't known for being a dangerous town particularly, but it could get real dicey at times. I had a period where I fell in with some bad kids.

These days it's pretty bad...a lot of drugs and decay. It's unfortunate. My old neighborhood is nothing like it used to be.
