    "overall it's a great place to raise a family, but, just like anywhere, check the crime maps and make sure your kids know to stay away from certain parts of town. Downtown Bloomington is where the highest concentration of crime happens. Mostly the college kids are targeted, but just be a little more cautious around there."
