Gogo's take on SunBlossom Louisville
“Go with care during daylight hours if you are visiting a specific eatery or destination, but maintain heightened situational awareness. The neighborhood and surrounding Southwest Houston corridors experience elevated rates of both violent and property crime compared to city and national averages. Strolling casually or visiting after dark is not advised for visitors.”
