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”

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.

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.

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.

Walker county isn’t bad unless you mess with the wrong people or hang out in Beat 10.

Birmingham is more dangerous than New Orleans according to stats.

Can't really beat downtown or south Atlanta honestly.

This seems odd to include.

Walker is a blue collar, hard working type county and there’s probably a good number of meth houses. But there is very little random crime.

You definitely don’t have to watch your back or worry about your parked car like you do in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, or Jackson.

I’d rather be locked in a cage with a hungry grizzly for 24 hours than spend a day in the area around Legion Field
