Mon Dieu! I hope they post a warning about how dangerous that neighborhood is for their citizens.
Hate to rattle an old click bait but between this and things getting all stabby around Royale again, I hope people can change their thinking on what areas of Boston are safe and not safe.

Don't wander around drunk and
Don't wander around drunk and/or high and avoid male prostitutes and you will be fine.
