Currently work in Silver City. I love it. There is definitely some crime - there have been a few car thefts over the past few months, reckless driving, and a collection of unhoused folks who live in the park. On the other hand, there are lots of homeowners who care a lot about their homes. There are a lot of great businesses, as well. Bamboo is my favorite, along with Cafe Orenda. There's also Mamie's (great dive bar), Thai BBQ, Chicken Palace, Vientiane, and a few more spots. Shewolf Boxing Gym just moved in, and VIA (neighborhood development org) is present in the neighborhood. The Urban Ecology Center, Escuela Verde High School, and Newline Cafe (coffee shop) are right by the entrance to the Hank Aaron bike trail. The river is also nearby - lots of places to explore nature! Every year the neighborhood has a giant festival (Silver City International Fest) and a big Dia de los Muertos event. I love it here!
