Are all of the zoos in the ghetto? (moving, live, Los Angeles)

Baltimore is the worst I have seen. Most big city zoos are in pretty cool historic areas if you ask me.

Ok well, that explains why I have never heard of it until now. lol

Here's the area around the Fort Worth Zoo...

Log Cabin Village
Colonial Parkway/Colonial Country Club
Mistletoe Heights

.... pretty nice lookin' ghetto, huh?

I can't think of many zoos in the ghetto. A lot of zoos are in nicer city parks--like in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Diego, and so on...

Maybe a better thread would be:

How come all Greyhound bus stations are in bad neighborhoods?

I mean what's up with that?

Most of them are downtown. Bums and crackheads love to hang around them. Not all are in bad neighborhoods.

Yeah the area around AT&T park is certainly not the ghetto...I think he's just pointing out that it lies on the main street of one of SF's main ghetto neighborhoods, and not far beyond the border of where the sketchiness begins. To be fair, the area around and especially just south of AT&T park was much more rundown and ugly 10, 20, 30 years ago than it is now. Of course the grit/crime increases as you go south towards Hunters Point (or the closer Potrero Hill projects).

At least by me (NJ near NYC), yeah, the big ones are . Turtle back zoo is in west orange (but not all of the oranges are bad) bronx zoo explains itself. Except the Central Park one, that's all I can think of . & there's some little ones, but those aren't really as big.

Milwaukee Zoo is one of the best in the country, and it is not in the ghetto.

No.
