The one in Comanche didn't say "asses" but it was still up when I was young in the late 70's or early 80's

Belhaven ... Yea... The cool thing for the med students is to live in Fondern/Belhaven. It is sheltered to the bad part of Jackson some.

Drive North 20 minutes, don't even have to lock your doors.

Walker County has problems but its not like its unsafe there. You can mind your own business and stay very safe. Not so true for ghetto parts of Bham

For Thecaw Polk county is pretty dangerous since all of the citrus “elites” hate that he’s destroyed them in every possible way

you're a pathetic liar, and for what reason? What do you gain from this?

You "walked all over Memphis, at night"??

Whitehaven? bullshite
Orange Mound? bullshite
North Memphis north of I-40? No, you didn't
South Memphis? No, you didn't.
Frayser? Hollywood? bullshite
Hell, not even Raleigh and Hickory Hill the past 20 years.

Liar!

Thank you. I tried to get people to admit this on a thread like this a year or so ago, and everyone just jumped to conclusions that Fondern/Belhaven "were awful" or whatever

I mean, I realize they're surrounded by rough neighborhoods, but the state is not going to allow their future medical doctors and wives/husbands to live in a war zone (well, they do in Bama at UAB Med )

Not as notable as some of the bigger cities but coming from someone who was raised in the shoals area.

Lawrence County, TN to Wayne County and Lewis County is a pretty rough place. Law enforcement refer to it as the meth triangle.

Murders there are slim to be solved. It has gotten little better but was really bad in the 70s and 80s. Cops have been found to have evidence for trails at their house. Lots of missing people never found. Lots of murders for a rural small towns in those counties.

Iron City,Lawrenceburg, Summertown, West Point,Hohenwald

There's some weird people and weird shite that goes on in Walker County, but it's nothing compared to some areas around Birmingham or Mobile in terms of danger.

The city of Jackson DGAF though. Constant battle for power between the city and state.

I don't see it lasting to much longer. The young lawyers and doctors etc stayed in East over, Fondern for a long time. Now they are moving to Brandon and Madison areas instead of staying in Jackson.

That money and investing is leaving, and the remaining nicer areas will begin to decay. County Line is a prime example. It went fast!

Well I wasn't deliberately walking through the hood you absolute fricking moron. I would bar hop/restaurant hop like a normal person. Uptown, downtown, madison ave, arts district. east memphis. shite like that.

Try doing that in the french quarter in nola, an area that would be equivelent to the number of bars and restaurants from what i listed above.. you turn one block off the wrong street and you'll get fricked with.


I promise Nola is more rough than Memphis. and that's a fact.

What do most of these places have in common?

Surprised Montgomery hasn't been mentioned. It's the Baton Rouge of Alabama. A woman last Friday was sitting at a red light in the middle of the day in not what is considered a bad part of town...was caught in the crossfire between two wastes of oxygen. She's now paralyzed for life. They, of course, haven't been found.

I travel often for work to most of the places that have been mentioned. If you're talking about the city proper, Jackson, MS and New Orleans are third world level. I grew up near Montgomery...it has fallen drastically since the early 90s...it usually coincides with new city "leadership" being voted in and anyone with any means getting the F out.

East St Louis.


I did my internship at Barnes-Jewish in St. Louis. I was driving there from Alabama to get started and took the wrong exit, ending up in East St. Louis. I got turned around and good Lord, I was praying for guidance to get the hell out of there. (This was before Google Maps and such).
