@wentworthst, @Myrcurial

Some of the negative talk about the IWS neighbourhood is from the loud minority. I bring a lot of visitors to Cats games and everyone loves the neighbourhood atmosphere. The homes, for the most part, are nicely kept and the whole place feels festive with everyone out on their porches. There's a unique atmosphere there -- hard to compare it to anywhere.

But no one I know has ever worried about their safety, or even negatively commented, about that neighbourhood.

In fact, one of the coolest experiences we had was doing a unique 'neighbourhood tailgate' (...who says you need acres of paved parking lot to do that..) on some guys front lawn. He was super cool -- was the corner of Beechwood and Melrose...the place that flies a Haudenosaunee flag from the garage -- great meet n' greet with fellow fans while enjoying a few beverages in nicely dense neighbourhood confines while whipping it up with all the fans as they walked to the stadium.

That's an experience.
