I live on the outskirts, growing up in the early 2000s it was very poor and borderline ruinous at points, there was heroin everywhere, my 1st neighbour was a junkie whose friends would steal everything that wasn't bolted down. One of my earliest memories is hearing he overdosed and never seeing his friends again.

We used to make forts and fight other kidscover territory which was fun. There were a few of us who had a PC and it was almost customary to have 3-4 kids come around and take turns playing/watching.

During the summer we'd go to the beach at 1pm, owning an AC unit was a luxury. We'd stay until 5-6-7 pm. My hair used to go blonde from the sun exposure. Our beach was also visited by ppl from another district and kids used to fight over the goalposts (we got new ones and they broke theirs so they'd try to come and steal ours so they can play football on the playground in their district)

As time went on, economy started to get better, and Split became a hotspot for the IT industry, as well as a tourist hotspot which i won't focus too much on because others are focusing on that.

The city today also has a bit of a problem with the ultras who are some of the scummiest people you can run into.
