Ellen Just be alert.....I can tell you it's not the worst area of the city....but then again it's not the best either..... But 27th & Vliet St. should be safe during the daytime.... I haven't been in that area recently, but I used to go to Kinsley United Methodist Church off of 33rd & Walnut.... I hope you are not too disappointed at what you find..... Let us know how your visit here goes.... GipC
