All property between 10th and 21st from 17 By Pass to the ocean is The prime zone. This includes all of BATB. After dark the blue lights predominate the light show there. Car breakins, strong armed robbery, assaults. BATB is an urban Nightmare. If you have a nice car, it will be broken in to. If you wear nice jewelry or a watch, you are fair game.
Down on the Boulevard between 9 Ave South and 20th North after 9 PM is a war zone.

I always carry 2 guns. I wear the Paranoid crown with pride. I have decided that I will Not be a victim. The ones casting those of us as being Paranoid are on their own. They are the "Rabbit People" that get hit daily on the beach. If you determine you are going to the Murder Beach anyway, I pray that your last thought won't be "Oh Hell I was told this could happen".
