Anyone going to this Italian Festival that I was informed of either tonight or tomorrow? It's like 2.5 miles from my sister's house. I wonder if I could walk there and back, and not die. I want to do it, at least, but I'm not sure. I'm kind of nervous. I don't know how safe it is to do so. I am staying off of Forest if anyone can tell me if it would be okay for me to take the trek by foot. I would probably start walking by 3ish if I decided to go tomorrow, but I hate doing those sorts of things alone. Any insight on the area and how 'safe' it is to walk by myself?

    You could walk there, sure, but then, when you're there, would you want to walk more? These kinds of festival thingies are always accessible by foot only, so the only way to see and experience them all, is by foot.

    If you don't have a car, take the bus. The 20 Elmwood goes right up to Hertel and it only costs $1.50. Here's the NFTA site with the Elmwood bus route :::link:::

    Hertel itself is safe to walk. Not sure where, exactly, you would be walking from, but in general, your route is safe. If you're going from the general area of the strip to Hertel, that is. I say anything east of Richmond, west of Main would be safe to walk at night. Remember, walking main thoroughfares is always safer since you can be seen by more people. There is safety in numbers.

    Good luck and have fun! Wish i could be there instead of studying or at work!

    Yeah, its a long hike. As @leetee had suggested, I would take the Bus to Hertel - it's really very reasonable. You could always walk coming back. I think its a very safe walk and even really scenic, at time. I have walked the route many many times and say this from personal experience. Enjoy the festival!!

    If you all ready went hope it was fun, I went this morning after a movie and had a couple kinds of Penne or Ziti not sure what the difference is noodle wise but they both tasted different but very good one of them was Vodka sauce and the other was pesto and then there was the fried Resse cup that was pretty good and I was pretty full in a couple of hours. Yeah some times waiting on a bus isn't to fun but it isn't that bad I'm not sure if the 25 on Delaware or the 20 Elmwood is better for you. If didn't go yet I hope you have a good time.
