Post summary:Hi everyone, I'm moving to Thunder Bay later this month for school, just have a few questions. I'll be living near the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law in Port Arthur, is that a safe area?

- Transit is crap, you're better off walking or biking. If you're near the law school, you're basically in the downtown where the nightlife is. There's a grocery store in the area. Population is inflated due to school and wildfires. Lots of homeless people. Most people mind their own business.

Population is inflated due to the sc - Welcome! If you're near the law school, the downtown scene is close by, and you'll have a great time exploring with friends. If you're just walking alone at night, walk from the law school (towards Hillcrest Park etc.) rather than downtown. Transit isn't great, but we have buses, and there are two grocery stores near the law school. Don't walk alone to the McDonald's on Cumberland (downtown) at night. People are generally friendly, and I'm sure you'll have a positive experience here.

If you’re just having an evening solo stroll walk up from the law school (towards hillcrest p - The area near the law school is quite a golden area of the city. It's relatively safe, but depending on your exact location, there can be some crime. Transit in the area is very accessible because Water Street Terminal is the main hub for buses, and if you wait for a bus, you typically wait 15-20 minutes. You'll also be in a high-traffic area of the city, as tourism and nightlife peak in summer and on weekends. If you enjoy nightlife or social gatherings, this is a great spot for you.

Access to city transit in that area is good because the Water Street Termin - If you're north of Red River Road and west of Algoma - that's a good area with relatively low crime. If you're south of Red River - generally, west of Second is fine. High Street and west of it is very good.

Original English title:Panhandled three times in one SilverCity visit
Post content summary:I haven't been to SilverCity in a long time, but when I finally went back, I was surprised by what happened. We had barely taken a few steps out of the car when someone asked us for money. Then, before we even got through the front door, we were asked again. After the movie, it happened a third time. I looked around the parking lot and saw several other people doing the same thing, asking moviegoers for money. Has this been going on for a while, or did we just happen to catch it on a bad day?
