I was in Memphis on business last year went to Graceland while on the Graceland property it was safe with guards but the area around looked terribly dangerous.

I have always been told that Walker County Alabama is the most dangerous drug infested place in the southeast. Are there other reasons it has that reputation ?

New Orleans no explanation needed.

East St Louis.
Sure it’s across the state line but SEC owns it for recruiting.

A portion of West Atlanta is known locally as “The Bluff”

Bluff standing for “Best Leave U fricking Fool”

I worked up in Illinois one fall and winter and one of the first things they told us was don’t go to east St. Louis. Must be pretty bad.

The entire South has a lot of work to do. Hopefully we can follow Mississippi’s model for success.

Not even the most dangerous place in Alabama.

Atlanta for volume alone. Walker County is the kind of place where your body will disappear. There are rural parts of MS that's similar.

I’m not saying Baton Rouge is some safe town, but it is extremely easy to avoid bad areas in BR. It’s not like New Orleans where you have a street that has mansions one block from the hood.

Right…. Big Ten is considered to be in Walker County, it’s boarding close to West Jefferson. Big Ten is a place if you don’t have any particular reason to be there probably best to stay away from. Some backwoods folks that don’t take to kindly to strangers.

Never heard stories of any meth labs but plenty of weed along the river banks.

Mississippi is bordering Tennessee and Mississippi fans shouldn't fear Memphis at all.

I don’t say this bc you are an OM fan, and I emphatically agree that New Orleans is highly dangerous.

But I have felt genuinely unsafe in Jackson, MS. It deserves some consideration.

St. Louis...specifically the north/near north side. The metro as a whole struggles b/c of the geographically small pocket of very high crime in the city. These statistics are then applied to a city with only 66 square miles (need to do the city/county merger in our lifetime). Outside those tight geographic boundaries, STL City and Metro is a fine place (I grew up in the area with STL being the nearest "big city").

KC, where I now make my home...yes crime is bad in some areas. But KC metro is a great place. I know it's on the far outer limits of where most in the south would think of travelling, but check it out some time.

Walker County is generally not dangerous unless you are involved in the drug trade, a meth or oxy addict, or involved in the little pocket of the mafia that is there as a result of the meth and historic coal mine union. Drummond Coal is headquartered in Jasper so there has always been a mafia presence there.. For normal people Walker County is not dangerous at all.

I don’t think he is. He just shows up every once in a while to start “what is worse, Tuscaloosa herpes or Knoxville chlamydia?” type threads. Like this one.
