Oddly enough the crime stats in the Galleria area of Atlanta are worse than those around Vine City and the Omni in Downtown...and have been for many years. The reason is simple, people do not live in the Vine City / Omni area...wonder a little bit east of Vine City and all bets are off and make no mistake but from Little 5 points to Vine City is about as crime free an area as you can get in a major city. If there is not an event going on and its past 6 PM you would almost think you are in some sort of dystopian future from the lack of people in the area. Smyrna, on the other hand, and particularly the area around Cumberland and the Galleria, is the most crime ridden part of Cobb County and it ain't close...and has been for about 30 or so years. It is perfectly safe when the braves are in town and the immediate area around the Battery is safe any time because there is a massive police presence...but the stats indicate the area is less safe than the downtown area. Far safer than Summerhill was though, where Atlanta Fulton County and Turner Field was/is....
