I think the streets are safe, but maybe others have different opinions.<br />--KeithKeith Hauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06482490193289114095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394676952612524378.post-43036095525890415982014-06-24T21:21:48.175+02:002014-06-24T21:21:48.175+02:00Hello!

Are the streets OK at 6am in the winter? Coming from Toronto where it's not that pretty either for the most part but generally innocuous. Thanks!Gráinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830374191666197523noreply@blogger.com
