The east side is not a safe area. I'd say east side would be one of the worst areas of Indy, if not the worst. My wife has worked down there for 2 years. Thankfully she is starting a new position that will put her behind a desk and not in people's homes.
Well there went that employment option. Back to the drawing board. I have a feeling that I won't be employed until next fall when the new school year starts.
