East Cleveland safety DURING THE DAY

Hello [r/Cleveland](r/Cleveland)! Lifelong Westsider here! I need to make multiple drives through East Cleveland (city of East Cleveland, not east side, just so we’re clear) soon and wanted some insight about daytime safety from Clevelanders who have experience living, working, or driving in EC. I’m aware that EC is a high crime area but wanted insight about how concerned I should be to be there during the day. Thank you for any insight, it is much appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you all for your replies, it seems like I may have been over reacting a tad bit. I will make sure to be wary of potholes
