OPINION: A neighborhood misunderstood
November 20, 2023When I first came to Muncie, I heard about staying away from “the other side of the tracks” — the dangerous side of Muncie. For my first two years here, I did just that. I stayed within campus and barely went beyond the roads of McGalliard and Tillotson. Eventually though, my studies forced me to cross those tracks and immerse myself in the space that was deemed unsafe: the Southside Neighborhood.
