I lived in Morningside until 1995 and finally moved out after being robbed at gunpoint in my driveway. All of my neighbors had been victims of crime: B&E, auto theft, armed robbery, murders in the area. Gunshots in the evening were normal. Recently I drove through the area and both the residential and commercial strip on Warren had gone downhill very noticeably. I was however a bit impressed at how much business still seems to thrive on Harper.

Personally, I don't recommend the area but I moved into Morningside in 1984 against everyone's recommendation and had at least six very good years there. there were many decent buisnesses at the time, churches, bars/pubs, attractive housing. EEV was always a good deal nicer than Morningside. We were the transition area.
