shon I'm with you. I've never had any trouble, the location is bad but you have to play it smart no matter where you go these days..Don't look like a victim and you most likely won't become one and go in groups or something but definitely don't go alone...

People will go and have a good time. I wish the fair had moved to a new location but that won't keep me from going and ejoying some fair food. Once a year I get to be bad and eat stuff that I can't eat all year long. I know some of you have reservations about going to that side of town but I go to the fair most years and have never had any trouble. Most people on that side of town are hard working people who happen to have very low paying jobs. Of course there is a criminal element but they are in every neighborhood.

Roller coaster coming to State Fair. That's nice. But I won't be. And many others also, because of where it's located.
