walking outside late at night
It's about midnight right now. I am really craving coffee. There's a gas station really closeby, only a 20 minute walk, and their coffee is soo good.
My house is on a semi-busy street, but there's a sidewalk. I don't live in a dangerous part of town.
Would it be okay for me to walk to the gas station, get coffee, and walk back home? I'll bring a cell phone.
Please don't say "just wait til tomorrow" or "make a pot of coffee yourself". Is it okay or is it way too dangerous?

if your town isnt busy as in creepy people walking around the streets lol, then you should be fine. as the last two people said, busy is good. because there will be cars driving past, so noone will try anything because people will see, whereas on a quiet street, there will be no witnesses lol. if you do plan on going to night and a parent or guardian or whoever you live with is us, make sure you tell them, make sure you bring a cell phone, and make sure you only carry enough money for the coffee. dont bring like a twenty dollar bill for a two dollar coffee. but all in all, you should be safe. you must have really been craving that coffee to walk 20 minutes there and twenty mintes back=p

I wouldn't really suggest it even if your neighborhood is safe or not. There are tons of chances to do something to an innocent person at night, so I wouldn't recommend walking.
However, if you decide to walk, bring your cell phone & try to be safe.

If your town is busy then it should be okay. If it is quiet the definetley not. A busy town means that people couldnt comit a crime, (since there is alot of people around) but if it's quite then you shouldnt. I am from myrtle beach, SC, so I walk around at night all the time. So if it's busy then yes. But if you just can't overcome that craving, then taking a cell would definetley be a good idea.
Good Luck (and stay safe):)

Busy is good. If it's quiet, that's bad.
If you walk there make sure there's no sort of 'hang out' places eg schools,parks ect. If there is try to switch paths or something.
A few weeks ago me and my friend went walking at midnight and we passed a school where there were people hanging out with guns who were talking about whether to shoot us or not, it was scary.
It was a quiet suburb, whereas if it's busy it's less likely for something to happen due to witnesses and stuff.
Also if you do go make sure you keep aware of everything around you and stuff.
Stay safe!
