T.C.===and crime???or bad area???pretty non-existant
there really is not a (ghetto-hood area) there are some area's that are (lower income) but still very nice neighborhoods.
Traverse is a beautiful town with lots to offer- in 50+ years i've never seen (or heard of ) a hooker on the streets- or a neighborhood with drug dealers-
there is of course some of these things going on, just like every other town in america...but prevailant? not in T.C.
i know of much smaller towns around that have much worse reputations- Traverse is not only a great place to visit, but it is also a wonderful place to live.
