I am not really afraid of cities. I live in a average sized city, but I never really think twice about being downtown or out and about at night. I just am. There is a really scary bridge I have to cross to get home from one bus stop, though, but it is more scary because I am paranoid about the mothman eating me alive than I am about scary gangster types.
Although, the east and north ends of my city are pretty mothersmurfing scary places sometimes. I was waiting for a bus once and there was this fellow about 800 times bigger than me just standing in front of me while I sat on the bench. He was like, staring at me and whistling really creepy like, and punching his palm with his other hand every once and awhile. I just avoided eye contact and prayed for the bus to come quickly. Then it did!
Whenever I take the bus to Toronto and spend the night, I'm usually out and about there too. Regent Park is scarythough.
The wide open country scares me, walking down the roads and what not. I'm always paranoid of someone stuffing me into a car or something. That'd be pretty balls.
