#25: I'd be shocked if you DIDN'T manage to get shot while on a street called Winchester
#24: 58th and Wallace doesn't hold a candle to 63rd and Wallace

I'm pretty sure it's everyone else who is laughing at Cincinnati.

While Cincy was #1, Chicago had 4 neighborhoods in the list. Nobody else had more than 2.

Although, looking at Chicago's #2 "neighborhood"... that isn't even a "neighborhood".... it's two schools, a church and a police heliport. Not sure what to make of that.

I haven't been to many of these cities but the 2 cities I felt in danger are Memphis and Dallas.
Memphis late at night was beyond sketchy.

8. Kansas City, Mo.
Neighborhood: Forest Ave./41st St.
Found Within ZIP Code(s): 64110

The relative lack of streets named after MLK being on this list has surprised me and made me feel a bit better.

I'm a little surprised at the NYC listing, considering it is in Manhattan, and one of the safest cities in the world.
No South Central either? That's amazing.

I remember when I moved to L.A. from Memphis. A lot of people asked me why, what with all the crowds, traffic and the crime. Heh, yeah, about that.
/don't mind the crowds and I manage to miss most of the traffic

If you are on any street named after a civil rights leader, sadly, GTFO. GTFO now.

As long as you're not selling crack on someone else's corner then the odds of
you
specifically getting gunned down in one of these neighborhoods is quite low. Most of these victims knew what they got themselves into. They bought their ticket.

It's what we who are former military would call "a hot LZ".
No surprise about Over the Rhine (I believe that is the Cincy neighborhood in question), and as for Chicago...yeah, insert your favorite snide remark about Obama and his friends here I guess.
I thought Atlanta was the shooting gallery though.

They are doing it by zip code, so its a bit more than that.

Manhattan's good for the most part, but there's the occasional pocket that's still fairly dangerous. But yeah, I am surprised that if we were going to have one it would be in Manhattan.

The 1st listed area of Dallas is pretty scary. I don't think I've ever been to that 2nd one.
I'm a little surprised one of the Dallas ones wasn't in Oak Cliff, where they had T-shirts that said "Welcome to Oak Cliff" and featured a stick figure guy putting a body in a trunk.
My girlfriend's sister went there once to take a picture of this ruined playground for one of her classes, and somebody literally chased her across the playground in their car trying to get her camera.

Used to have to drive through #5 on my way to work when I lived out there.
5 times in 2 years, I was detoured because of a fresh body in the street. Place was farked up.
I'd hate to see 4-1 in person.

On Saturday my friend and I went on a little "high ride" and passed within a couple blocks of the #1 spot. Although it's definitely a black neighborhood, I was pleasantly surprised to see a white crack whore that afternoon, actually.

21. Cleveland, Ohio
Neighborhood: Cedar Ave./55th St.
Around St. Clair/79th seems a bit more dangerous than anywhere on Cedar.

You can get shot at Wylie & Moreland, Boulevard & Ralph McGill, or Bankhead all day, but I don't buy crack so it's not really a problem for me.
You should have seen Boulevard between Ponce and Freedom on New Year's Eve this year. I never saw so many dealers in my life. They were posted up in front of the Popeye's at North before it was even dark.

The first three in Chicago they named are I believe all actually in one neighborhood (Englewood) and the other is part of where the infamous Robert Taylor Homes were.

this list is fake.
We all know the most dangerous city:
That's why we don't call it Detroit, we call it Amityville ('Ville)
You can get capped after just having a cavity filled (filled)
Ahahahaha, that's why we're crowned the murder capital still (still)
This ain't Detroit, this is motherfarking Hamburger Hill! (Hill!)
We don't do drivebys, we park in front of houses and shoot
and when the police come we farking shoot it out with them too!
That's the mentality here (here) that's the reality here (here)
Did I just hear somebody say they wanna challenge me here?? (huh?)
While I'm holding a pistol with this many calibres here?? (here??)
Got some registration and just made this sit valid this year? (year?)
Cause once i snap i cant be held accountable for my actions
and that's when accidents happen,
when a thousand bullets come at your house
and collapse the foundation around and they found you
and your family in it

When I was really hitting up shows down in Cincy, it was back in 2001 when the race riots were going on. Stemmed from like a bunch of white cops killing a black kid. Yeah, being white in that area at the time made your butt-hole pucker up.

I'm kind of surprised that the bad neighborhood in Chicago wasn't simply everything between Western Ave and the Dan Ryan/Bishop Ford expressways and south of I-55.
