My 2 cents on Bishop's Safety
[QUOTE=Bruno68;2395521]I am from out of town and will be visiting the area this weekend. I have read that the area around BC and PM is kind of sketchy, but do you guys think these clubs are generally safe fora lone middle aged white guy? Is your answer different day versus night? Just trying to get some context since I have never been to bridgeport.[/QUOTE]Been going there at night for 25 years, am now a middle aged soft pudgy white guy. At night if you can park in front or across street it's optimal, there's often a guy outside on a chair in fact paid to watch the cars, can give him a buck or two he'll appreciate it. Do NOT park past Clermont on Bishop or especially on Clermont, people have gotten jumped / mugged there, it's dark and out of view. I have often parked one street over on East Ave right near Barnum facing North next to what is now a nursery school -- the short 1 minute walk along Barnum is safe enough with so many cars going by. Daytime is not a problem to park anywhere.
Inside you rarely get hassled (I've never been), and rarely do I feel out of place, the bartenders are white for one.
But when it's really crowded and I can't sit down I do feel more conspicuous, so I don't linger, I just take care of business and leave.
You can also watch your car on the closed circuit monitors mounted high on the walls if you park in front, but no one's fucked with my car before.
