in Brighton Beach (a Russian mafia stronghold)
I know what this person is trying to say, but just to be clear, Brighton Beach is not full of mafiosi or criminals. It's like the rest of New York, except:
1. Rent is lower.
2. There are more Russians.
3. "Bathhouse" does not imply gay.
I wouldn't want a friend getting into the situation as described, but "It's in Brighton Beach!" is not high on the list of reasons why.
- wooster 16y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Ivankov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Ivankov I come from an area which has a much worse crime (organized and otherwise) problem than Brighton Beach has ever had. I still see a lot of locals who refuse to acknowledge the problem. Not knowing much about Brighton Beach, it's hard for me to know whether you're right or just don't have first hand knowledge.
