    "Diversity and architecture are both very important aspects of the neighborhood. There are great small businesses as well, especially along Pico. Needs safer streets though as cars speed all the time and the area is pinch point for several main boulevards. "

    "Parents need to be vigilant even if this is, relatively speaking, a safe neighborhood. Still, lighting is spotty in places. Carrying flashlights and moving in small groups are both good ideas for evenings"

    "There’s a lot of dogs around and there’s even an eco friendly dog wash in the neighborhood. At times there are dogs roaming off leash and random cats around but not a big deal I guess. I don’t own a dog so I’m not to sure what dog owners are looking for. "

    "Miracle Mile is quieter than other mid-City neighborhoods, and crime is relatively low, but it’s still Morgantown to be vigilant and mindful of drivers going too fast, even on block with speed bumps."

    "People walk their dogs all the time and at all hours of the day. Women will walk their dogs by themselves at night in the neighborhood, and it's safe! If you have a dog, this is a great area for walks."

    "Residents are respectful of dog owners, as long as dogs are on leashes and their owners clean up after them, both of which are true the majority of the time, at least since I’ve been living here. Barking dogs can be an issue, with some residents allowing their pets to “express” themselves for longer than they shouldbefore calming them. This is my only dog related complaint."

    "There are many families in this neighborhood. There are a couple of mediocre parks nearby. I don't think the neighborhood is necessarily the safest place but it's not the most dangerous by any means either. Midcity lands in the middle across the board. "
