I could not agree with H-GM any more.
Fuck that whole area, for real.
I spent a LOT of time hanging out around that area growing up and (aside from my small bunch of friends who are from there) it's just a bunch of dumb, boring, white assholes.

Yeah it's a pretty bland place. I used to have a regular customer who went out there every day, back when I drove a taxi.

It doesn't look like the kind of place where I'd ever want to live, but then life is what you make of it, right?

Beverly is just like most southside neighborhoods. There just really isn't a whole lot going on. It's a good place for families or people who are content with their local tavern and maybe driving to the mall to see a movie now and again. But, that's about it.

As for it being "very white" or there being any "tensions," I'm not so sure on how true that is anymore. The neighborhoods in that area seem to be diversifying a bit. I think it's been primarily white because the homes are nicer but there are more African-American professionals that I see coming into my library (I work not too far from there) who live in Beverly or near-by, so I suspect it's starting to change a bit. But, don't quote me on that!
