Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

What American town have you ever felt the most unsafe?

    Oakland Fruitvale is probably the closest thing to what a 3rd world shithole is that I've been to in the US. That's including South Central in the late 90's.

    Been to lots of 3rd world shitholes though. Always was smart enough to make some friends, "why make an enemy when you can make a friend". Kept me out of plenty of trouble and got me into some.

    I've always been the kind to end up drinking with degenerates instead of being hassled by them. Never show fear, walk with a purpose but not quickly, and always offer to buy the locals a drink out of respect. Then leave before they get too drunk and want to fight.

    Probably the best non pup anal advice on the board

    Cincinnati, well official across the river in Covington Ky. It just didn't feel right.
    Also a small town in the Santa Cruz mountains at a park with a river on a hot day. Bunch of guys with neo-nazi tattoos, and most people didn't even know. Turned out they were nice and not looking to start anything. Honestly, what worries me is that they would expect me to join in on their side if shit went down. Not sure if I would. It would depend on the situation.

    Newport Kentucky. What a fucking shithole lol
    Anything other than Lexington in Kentucky is a shithole.
    FREE PUB!!!

    Louisville is looking a little run down and between Louisville and Lexington, you pretty much cover the only cities with a population over 100k.

    There are definitely some shithole towns here and some that are quite pleasant.

    Chinatown NYC at 5 in the morning. Detroit near Ford Field or a neighborhood called Belmont. Training in South Chicago for 3 weeks. Also was riding a route with a Coca Cola driver in 1985 Watts.

    I have traveled the world in business. There are some pretty intense 3rd world cities that make anything in the USA look good.

    You should visit other places than the Castro in SF.

    Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Atlantic City was the worst. 1 block off of the main strip and it's a total ghetto.

    Tenderloin is more H's speed. He likes it so much, he and his Libtard cult brought it back to Seattle.
