Jamestown Under the Microscope: Separating Myth from Reality
When it comes to Jamestown, it’s easy to think poorly of the neighbourhood. People paint it as a tough, dangerous place to live in, and the constant police presence doesn’t exactly do much to dispel the myths and misconceptions. But the truth is, Jamestown is a diverse, vibrant community that has gone through a lot of transformation in the last few years.
When City Council cracked down on slumlords and poor quality housing, the neighborhood saw a drastic reduction in crime and other problems. Instead of an issue-laden hotspot, it has become a safe and welcoming family neighbourhood.
Nowadays, if you take a stroll through Jamestown, you’ll find neighbourhoods busy with kids playing on their skateboards, bikes, and scooters. Parents can comfortably let their children explore the local parks, the new little skatepark, or just play around on the playground equipment. The school-age children in Jamestown have been gathering nearly every day for months on end, and many of the steel plant workers simply like to go out after their shift and soak up the atmosphere. It’s a far cry from what many people think of when they hear the name “Jamestown.”
This transformation should have long ago put the rumours of Jamestown’s reputation to bed, but it’s still met with raised eyebrows when mentioned in conversation, and not infrequently dismissed as unsafe. We should all take a lesson from the 11-year-olds who play in the neighbourhood without fear and come to understand the true nature of Jamestown. If you’re still on the fence about the Great Soup Kitchen Sleepover taking place in the neighbourhood, you should feel confident to participate in the event – if 11-year-olds are safe in the neighbourhood, you certainly will be!
