How ironic to have this release in the wake of the World Series extravaganza.

Detroits not number 1 anymore?

Awww... we just can't win at anything.

 

[shaved_women]

Well, I feel safe in New York City. I'm glad we don't have problems with crime as bad as some other cities.

I should feel honored to live in such a magnificent town

Honestly though, I live and work in the city and am very surprised to see we are number one on the list. I guess I'm not visiting the wrong parts of town enough.

 

[IamJen]

Yeah. I thought it was interesting too, Jinga. I've been to St. Louis to visit and have never felt unsafe. Then again, I didn't spend much time on the north side.

Still, to say that it's less safe than Detroit seems a bit amazing.

<<not a fan of the motor city

I was also a bit surprised to discover that both Cleveland and Atlanta are cities with less than 500K population. I had thought both were larger.

How odd that Ohio's three biggest cities are all on the most-dangerous list. California also has three cities on that list, but the good-list has five Cali cities. The only "safest" Ohio city is Wheeling, according to the list. Most people I know consider Wheeling to be a West Virginia city.

I never thought Ohio was that dangerous, but that's probably because I live here.

What on earth?! Chicago never even made the dangerous list. When I was thinking about moving to Chicago, family friends in Ohio told me it was much more dangerous than here. Granted, "here" is not downtown Cleveland, but I've been to Cleveland plenty of times, and no one flipped out at me for putting myself at undue risk when I went there for concerts, museums and restaurants.

Go Michigan! We got numbers 2 and 3!

 

[troub]

Eastern Michigan*

the rest of the state is fine

well... better

St. Lunatics at the Superbowl

Top row gettin super blowed

Rams on the 24 second down two to go

Now we in the Louis tho

It's two below hundred degrees

I'm drivin about 103

With a S.T.L hat on

Top down holdin a blunt

You know I'm smokin wit the windows up

I be the young dude

Chief into kung-fu, with sun-do

Come through, Beenie Man you don't really want to

How come you, think you can

I'm from the city where the muddy Mississippi might

sink you man

I'm getting brains in the Range

With the brains blown out

I am the king of the city, top down windows

I'm Puffin like Diddy

Ridin cause the haters face mad, team gritty

Honk your horn twice if your missies lookin pretty

With TV's, the wood grain and them thangs rolled out

Atlanta proper isn't a very big place. The met area is over 4 million now.

Maybe I'll move to Brick Twp in Joisey, just to see how different it is. I live in Most Dangerous #3.
