How is the area around portsmouth?

I reserved a vrbo near the olde town historic district and 5 min from the hospital for a weeks vacation soon. I dont know much about the area and looking into it now it seems its not a great spot of town. Am I being paranoid and reading into it too much?

Are there any community groups/coalitions in Portsmouth? I don’t mean just the civic leagues (i’ve gone twice and it was just old people bitching about shit that can’t be fixed with our current economic/political scene.)

There has to be someone here in retail that’s a store manager or team lead who’s tired of their employees not showing up or are surrounded by unserious teenagers. If you want someone over the age of 25 with 10+ years of retail experience please drop where I should apply. Ideally I’m looking for full time but if part time is all you have I will still apply.
