re: Most dangerous places in SEC country New Orleans, Memphis or Walker County Alabama?

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.
