So what is “up” with the crime in Uptown? A different app gives more detail. See if you can spot any concentration area in uptown (month worth of data). This is distorted a bit because of the “riots”<\/p>\n
Notice the red bubble with 20+? It is the 200-300 block of East Trade Street. The main stop on the Light Rail is there, along with all of the bus lines. Public Transportation is not called the “mugger mover” for nothing. The smattering of crimes around uptown are mostly breaking into cars and larceny.<\/p>\n Here is the “main corner” of Trade and Tryon and the old NCNB plaza from Google Earth. The “center of crime” is in the distance If anything in that picture looks remotely dangerous to you, stay inside and triple bolt your doors. Now it is true, the rest of the State does view Charlotte as the dangerous place (compared to Mayberry).

There is an area along South Boulevard that is filling up with Mexicans who recently are terrorizing the black people in the area, exchanging gun fire at night, probably with local black drug dealers.

It’s probably less dangerous than it seems, but I have the sense I would be targeted if they saw my diamond crusted Rolex watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Donald Trump did it again – lumped Charlotte in again with “Urban Inner Cities” with out of control crime.
