why? really not that hood. I mean centro, aranjuez, santo domingo, bello... all places you might say the same about but im the farrrr from the toughest dude around and never had problems.
If ur with locals ur generally good so I guess its a moot point I bring up, locals they will know when the social cleansings are happening and the strata 9 fear monger ex-pats will usually stay in their cages anyways. Barrio antioquia is similar and the 24/7 drug spot that at least half of us have been to past 1am I'm sure.
anyways same thing has happened at mayorista in the past, and im sure if anyone has ever left poblado to go degen then they've ended up there. Was just a bit surprised to hear aguilla negras doing this crap again as its been a few years afaik - they hand out papers a couple nights before letting the residents know that on X date they are gonna come through and raid/shoot/terrorize ppl on the streets past midnight.
I'm in istanbul now and seems wayyyyyyy more sketchy than anything in mde. Enjoy medellin and stay safe, ill be back for feria
