I wouldn\'t be able to hit the road until after my daughter goes to sleep... What time is the show... I probably wouldn\'t get up there until 9:30 the earliest...

What kind of neighborhood is this place in?  I might not have any family obligations and might try and get to this one since NJ is not on the radar...


Honestly... its not that bad of an area.  The first time I was here it was one of the Willie Waldman Projects and heading down there I was a bit questionable as to what the environment would be like.  The place itself is nice you can check it out online... its kind of on the Bridgeport/Fairfield line... I mean anywhere around the \'port your taking a risk... but I would venture to say this area is a bit less risky than downtown!=.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people think BPT is a so sketchy/ghetto.  You people must lead very sheltered lives.

Sorry, but after living in New Haven for 7 years and having a lot of friends in the area, Bridgeport is sketchy.  It\'s probably CT\'s equivalent to NJ\'s Camden...

i think it\'s a mistake to call it bridgeport. i mean it technically is, but a more accurate description would be black rock. it borders fairfield and bridgeport. it\'s not as nice as most of fairfield. it\'s not as bad as most of bridgeport. but it\'s more fun than either one. not sketchy unless you\'re scared of drunken fairfield U students

Well I didn\'t exactly expect a satistical breakdown, but I am glad to see the thoroughness of your analysis. Make sure you attach a cover sheet to those TPS reports while you are at it ;)

All I\'m saying is that the majority of places that you will ever visit in Bridgeport are not nearly as bad as they are made out to be.  I guess if you are living in the middle of Father Panic village you might have another perspective.  It\'s not like Camden, for example, where you walk 3 seconds off the main strip and are right in the middle of the ghetto.

what can I say... statistics are part of my daily job, so the numbers speak to me.

look, I\'m not calling you a ... gaff... whatever that is.  I\'m just saying, if you don\'t live in Bridgeport, or if you\'re from (say) Fairfield and you only hit up very specific parts of Bpt, by jumping off 95 and driving right to your location, you really have no idea that 90% of Bpt is a really ugly ghetto.

i owned a home in bridgeport for 18 years and i\'ve worked for the city for over 21 years. my wife was born and raised here. now that i\'ve established my credibilty......"you really have no idea that 90% of Bpt is a really ugly ghetto."

this statement is completely false, derogatory and plain stereotyping.....IMHO.

for what it\'s worth.....i really have no particular love for bridgport and could live my life never seeing it again.....but let\'s be real. anyway.....i\'m gonna spend saturday night in tampa having dinner with joe girardi so i should be safe at least.
