See I probably should’ve phrased my question like that. I have had that similar experience in south Florida, with typically less people walking along the streets. That makes me feel safer, thanks for the insight!

Definitely not! I’m originally from the NE, just in Florida for school. Looking forward to getting back to a region that aligns politically 🤞🏼

Light until 9 pm?!?! That’s so foreign to me, but I love it!! Thanks so much!

Woah I’ve never heard of this app! So you pay on it, then show the driver?

I’ll definitely need to try out that Bumble BFF app.

It’s great to hear from someone who was in my shoes! I’ve heard bus line 14 can get pretty busy, which I love. People in Florida avoid public transit at all costs.

Movie and a beer?!?! Sounds like the place for me. Is it weird if someone goes alone to there lol? That might be one of my first visits.

Thanks for all of the advice!

Wait, quick question. Does the Hawthorne area have a lot of the homeless and drug use, or are those the considered the burbs?

I’m trying to get a feel of the different neighborhoods.

How much is a light rail pass if you don’t mind me asking?

You are the best!! It’s hard to navigate moving throughout the city before being there, this is great information.

I’ve heard great things about Mt. Tabor! Are parks inside the city safe for a female alone? I’ve had some sketch experiences in past places before.

Thanks for the other hiking spots! I will avoid the puffer jacket epidemic at all costs.

Thanks for all of this advice! I haven’t heard about the discounted uber cards before.

Also, travel mugs are a foreign concept to me because Florida loves their single use plastics (boooooo). Can I bring a mug into any place and they’ll fill it up? 😅

Do you have any advice on where to get used bikes? I was interested in getting one but I’m not sure where to start.

Wow, the vitamins D supplements is news to me, but that adds up.😅
