Yes, Laredo does have a crime problem but as a "minority" (and female), I've gotta say that I always felt safer and more comfortable wandering about the city than I did staying at the truck stops north of town. I always took a lot of flack for not being fearful but like all cities you have to use some common sense about where you go and how you carry yourself. I even ran before dawn in several areas with absolutely no problem--again the common sense about where comes into play and always carrying pepper spray and/or a phone. Is it wrong for me to be glad this woman is from Colorado instead of one of the southern states though?
