Don't forget East-Town!
Especially if you like music, women, 'the arts', and cheap drinks!
With having lived on all corners of this city I must say that
the south-east side has treated me well and I feel most at home there.
Highland park was just okay, but that was likely more due to the
draconian College Hill Apts. landlords than the area itself.
Though, if you have family, the north side of town, east or west of
the river, would where I'd look.
