Best way to find that out is come and check it out yourself over several evenings and talk to patrons...and talk to some of the business owners. IMO it's one of the safest downtowns around. Similar to downtown Alton, although on a much less developed scale and therefore quieter. I have great expectations for downtown Granite if development is done right (needs fitting residential IMO), and so far it's pretty darn good. I used to hang out in the CWE back in the mid 70's (Herbies', Heffelaump's, Left Banke Books, Duff's, etc.) and I feel safer in downtown Granite than I did in the CWE back then (although I never had any negative experiences and don't know anyone that did). Ditto for the Delmar Loop and South Grand. Look at those places now!
