If you get bored at work, drop some of these 'hoods into Google Satellite, zoom way in, and you'll see all the black dudes hanging out on the street corners.

The key is to try to find an intersection with a liquor store. Solid time waster.

btw, D-town bringing it STRONG by sweeping the top 3.

Thought for sure I'd see San Luis Rey Heights on that list.

Good job, niqqers. Way to turn this country into a 3rd world shithole. A spay, neuter and release policy would clear this problem up in about twenty years.

What a racist list.

Ghettos are interesting.

Yeah but the Detroit conference has a dogshit OCC schedule

Everyone likes to bitch and moan about money wasted on a war on drugs. The "War on Poverty"? Money well spent? We fought a civil war to get the black folks out of slavery only to turn them into slaves of the government. Sad.

R-Jack wrote:Yeah but the Detroit conference has a dogshit OCC schedule

the D doesn't need any OCC dates on its schedule. It is absolutely stacked with blue chip 1A ghettos.

rack them for running the table. kinda surprised that they let anyone else into the top ten.

is there a div 2 list? i'm pretty sure albany ave, hartford can land a pretty high seed there.

kinda amazing that nothing from the U&R made the list. i'm not surprised NYC didn't represent, but newark and trenton? how the fukk did that happen?

definitely not an espn poll.

Indianapolis has two? Let me guess. They are separated by interstate highways. Those roads did a lot to fuck up a city.

I'm waiting for m2 to declare Berkeley the MNC because they have a street named for Martin Luther King

How does Oakland not get into the top 25?

this list definitely has a big ten/sec bias.

Where's the love?

Camden could have had a couple 'hoods itself. Christ, NJ hit the trifecta with urban ghettos.

No shit? That's why I mentioned Camden's hoods rather than metro Philly.

Tarddowen thinks you're an idiot.

Actually I think you are an idiot.

I'd be hard pressed to think what idiot you didn't trump in idiocy on this board.

Oh, come on...that's just piling-on.

The transformation of California into Mexifornia caused an infusion of apaches into south-central...lightened up the whole area...More riot diversity but made the whole area traversable between 6:00am - 9:00pm.

None on the Best Coast?

Bode be unto us, once again.

I've never heard of those neighborhoods, I'm cruising through the D today to roll into Hamtramk for some epic Polish grub before the Tiger game. I will see quintessential shitholes on my way no matter what the neighborhood is named. If it isn't a casino, theatre, stadium, or located downtown, it's a shithole.

Yeah, you'd think the D would pull some of its starting ghettos once it was over, but noooooo.

Real classy D, right to the end.

Not even a honorable mention for a single neighborhood in DC?

Where's East Oakland? It's like a rap concert breaking out at a gun show.

The most dangerous neighborhood would be anywhere between Nick Felchco and an erect penis.

Washington Highlands was eligible, but it was relegated to the Prop 5 draft.

I did this last night when I got home from work.

I don't think I was in the neighborhoods on that list. But still... Absolutely despicable neighborhoods.

How hard is it to find a corner without a liquor store? It seems like every main thoroughfare has at least three liquor stores between corners. Barber shops, liquor stores, and heating and plumbing supply stores in which to trade in the scrap copper stolen from closed down factories.

The entire city needs a tarp and fumigation.

15) Dowling & McGowen (Houston, TX)

That area ain't no joke. Worked close by that area for 3 weeks after Hurricane Ike on an AT&T restoration job. Pretty scary when the sun wnet down and all those streets were pitch black except for an occasional bon fire and the chelshire cat like grin of a local homie. The only out of town storm job I've ever been a part of where we were instructed to carry a throw down wallet in case we were robbed.

None within 350 miles of my crib.

But you wouldn't know that if your only source of information was the local media around here. Someone ought to drop that link on them.

Uh, the Crescent 'hood? My g/f is from Crapchester and she said that is a world class 'hood down there.

Not saying that isn't bad, but it didn't make this list.

As far as the Crescent goes, while I generally try to avoid it, I don't always succeed. And yet, the only place I've ever been mugged was in Jacksonville, FL. Take that for what it's worth.

Dinsdale wrote:None on the Best Coast?

Bode be unto us, once again.

I don't see any on the list that are on the East Coast and north of the Mason/Dixon line either.

Those of us who live in that region generally don't claim anything south of Washington, DC as "east coast."

I clicked for a ride down "Joy Ave" in Detroit last night.

Miles and miles of nothing but liquor stores, barber shops/beauty salons, auto collision repair joints, and churches crammed into a storefront the size of my living room with a cross made from a 2x4 nailed to the roof.

The word "liquor" is so prominent that the city and street should be renamed.
Liquor Ave. Liquor, Michigan

Or better yet...
Martin Liquor King Blvd.

I've spent many hours in hoods like that for work, and never once thought the need to pack heat. Primarily because I'm not a pussy. Rough hoods and cold weather, that'll put hair on your chest and make you a man. Not that any of you fruitcakes can identify with that.

Didn't bring up the subject of being armed. But since you did, I'd rather go there carrying than not.

I spent many a hot day working in equally shitty hoods in L.A.

Had guns drawn on me several Times ad well as being in the vicinity of someone emptying the clip on a fully automatic weapon. Heck...I wasn't too far from the North Hollywood shootout and the deranged dumfuck that took a ride in a tank in SD.

What's the harm in letting your average working slob like me carrying my registered .45 around? I might even save a life besides my own.

So, no hoodrat pulled a gun on you because you are just a badass?

Nate: Check out whitebread, dog. Lets roll his ass

Pookie: I don't know man. Mufukka got crazy chest hair. Check out that square jaw and bushy azz mustache. You don't want none of that.

Nate: Yeah, maybe you right.



Sounds more like you were just lucky. If I had to spend time regularly in such shitholes I sure as fukk would want to pack something.

While my post was sprinkled with just a smidgen of hyperbole, I will say this. I suspect the reason that no hoodrat pulled a gun on me is because 99.9% of places you go, as long as you keep to yourself and mind your own business, people aren't going to fuck with you. Granted, there's a big difference between working in the hood at 12 noon and hanging out on street corners at 12 midnight. That, I wouldn't recommend under any circumstance.

You've got it backwards though. It's the bad ass who thinks he can shoot his way out of trouble. But I get it, it's about the sense of security. For me, I think it might feel more like false security. If home slice wants my wallet, I doubt he'd give me advanced notice. Dese wack ass thugs are kinda rude like that, yo. So approaching me from behind with his piece pointed in the back of my dome (calm down, Stanley), rather than try to act out a scene from Desperado, I figure the best chance at survival would be to toss Slim Money my wallet (preferably a dummy wallet).

Perhaps there are other scenarios in which carrying would be beneficial, but I personally never felt the need. To each his own. I'm not anti-gun, it's just not my thing. I suppose if I was gifted a gun and the instant legal right to carry, I'd keep it on me. Otherwise, I'm not going to plop down the cash and go through the means to legally carry it.

I actually always felt a little more uneasy up in the hinterlands of northern Michigan. Backwoods hicks are bored, obsessive over their property, and just looking for any reason to draw on somebody. They don't want your money. They'll shoot you just to shoot you.

In my experience with shitty neighborhoods, the shitty business districts are reletively OK. It's where they pen all the wild animals together{housing projects} that you've got to plan a window of opportunity in which to get in, get the job done, and get the hell out.

My guess is that they're a bit embarassed to be seen in their living arrangements by any outsider. You ask them where they're from when they are away from home and they'll say "Nickerson Gardens, man. Dat place be beautiful. We gots nice folk dey. We be PROUD of our hood...sayin'"

These same people will lay out the welcome wagon by barking obscenities and tossing whatever is handy at your work truck if you arrive any time other than between 8am to 11am.


Proud...what a laugh.

I'm sure we've all heard Detroit Proud; 'lanta Proud; Newark Proud

If you've never been to the place you're assigned to show up to, you can generally assume it to be a blighted, wretched, zoo populated with wild humanoids if the tag "PROUD" is known to be attached to it.
