Another v-streamer here too....

It was and still is an unsafe neighborhood, but if you use caution and go in the daytime, you should be OK.
I've heard a fair share of things happening at Roosevelt Field as well...
Just use common sense and caution wherever you go.

i would never go there. too much crime.




hate to say it, but theres crime all over. roosevelt field too.



I am at Roos Field constantly, alone, and never once have I witnessed anything crime related, or felt unsafe (I am not disputing there's crime there, I know there is!). I would even go to RF alone at night, you just gotta park near an entrance to the mall in a well lit area.

I personally would not go to GA alone at night...maybe (just maybe) daytime but I would chose many places over GA.



Statistically speaking theft is much higher at GA--we all know this. It's a personal decision whether or not you feel safe. All malls have their share of crime.

I'm sorry evryone is scared to go to the mall but it seems kind of funny to me.

I go to green acres ALL the time & have never felt unsafe there. It's really not as bad as everyone is making it sound

ETA: We even go to the movie theater next door & make it home alive

That made me laugh!Chat Icon

I go to Green Acres by myself and I'm not afraid. I don't really go shopping alone at night, but during the day Green Acres is not a problem.

Seriously. Not a great selection of stores but I wouldn't think twice about going. I would even go at night and park far away Chat Icon Chat Icon
Maybe its the renovation. All those changes make some people nervous

My DH works at one of the stores right next to GA and he comes home everyday without a problem. He even works nights and makes it to his car with no problem. Chat Icon
