From the Lexington Herald-Leader:
People in Lexington feel significantly less safe than a year ago about walking with a mile from their homes, according to a Gallup survey released Monday. They view Lexington as being more open to senior citizens and families with young children, but think the area is less open to immigrants than it has been. Those are some of the results from "Soul of the Community," a study commissioned by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Walking more than a mile from home in Lexington is still perfectly safe if you take along a couple of friends, Smith & Wesson.
