But honestly in your particular area which seems to have a lot of French people, I think people are right to worry about going there due to the risk of Germans invading.

That's a good point. Sometimes I'll hear about a shooting, and I'll cock my ear for the address. I live south of 10th Street, and a shooting here is big news. But if it's north of 30th Street, a shooting is just another Thursday. I could run up to those neighborhood in 20 minutes, but it's a completely different world.
Good point about the Germans too. I occasionally see them massing on the border of 30th Street.
