I was told by a policeman many years ago that most robberies are on the streets where the criminal can make a quick get away toward Rampart. St. Anne is safer because of all the bars and foot traffic. By now, EVERYONE should know better than to walk down Burgundy, Dauphine or lower Bourbon after dark. I'd have taken a cab the two blocks after the party, too. In fact, I've done it after leaving a bar or restaurant. I've also never been a victim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851375563108257628.post-11637008832279691642008-07-13T10:38:00.000-05:002008-07-13T10:38:00.000-05:00The reason that St. Ann, Orleans and Dumaine have so few robberies is probably because Armstrong Park is not open at night. You can't run through it at night. So if you're a fleeing thug, your best escape routes are unobstructed ones, like St. Philip, Gov. Nicholls, etc etc.Mojofearlesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15785979434585706523noreply@blogger.com
