I was assaulted last night at across from the Baseball Stadium

[vagamundo]

I joined this site last week as my travel plans include a visit to GTO later in January. I have to say that it was distressing to read about the assault since part of the reason I wanted to visit GTO was due to the relative safety it appears to offer. Hopefully, this incident is a one-off, not a general occurrence.

I used to live in Cusco and belonged to a Peru expat blog. The comments there frequently were out of out of bounds to others but I do not find that to be the case on this blog board.

However, I think it is ridiculous to live in a city where one only feels safe between the hours of 10-4pm. If that were the case, and I trust it is not, I may consider going elsewhere in Mexico.

Could someone who has lived here for a while, comment on general safety issues in GTO? What are neighborhoods to avoid in addition to the baseball field?
