Comment	Nothing much wrong with Carntyne. Much like all of the east end the big complaint will be lack of pubs and restaurants. Don't go with newspaper headlines for this stuff. You'll be bound to find scary stories for just about every area of Glasgow if you tailor your searches. A search for "Violence in Partick" will no doubt give loads of results for sectarian clashes and pub brawls. Because this is the second time this week where a thread like this has came about where folk on r/Glasgow have came to tell people that the east end is some kind of war torn hellhole, and because it's annoyed me ... The crime stats that get published every year list the east end areas lower in the tables than used to be. Last year the number one areas on the list for crime was ANDERSTON AND YORKHILL! Dennistoun was in the top ten, coming BEHIND HILLHEAD. Yep, Hillhead, in the "west end", ranked worse than Drumchapel and Maryhill. Just saying this because I think some folk around here need a bit of perspective. The east end is not some kind of terribly dangerous no-go zone. It's a massive part of the city where thousands and thousands of ordinary, normal people live, work and bring up families.
