    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.

    Stay in the bunker and keep your head down.

    People are lining up to kill you, Mall Cop. Remember?

    South side of Tucson is no joke. I saw an Arco get knocked off. People did coke in the Walgreen's parking lot. The usual ghetto/bario stray dogs ran around. West of 19 it's not as bad. Bronx seemed scary. I did not have any desire to exit the car. NY as a whole seemed alright though.

    Atlanta can get sketchy real quick.

    Check on New Orleans. Stick tightly to the chamber of commerce trail map for tourists or you're asking for it.

    Not what they once were, but Overtown, Liberty City or Carol City in Miami. Back in the day, there was nothing like it. They've softened a bit, but I still would not be caught walking through even in daylight.

    NY - uh, none of the boroughs are tuff anymore. None.

    Lolz for any mention of anything Seattle. Tuffest neighborhood in the NW is Hilltop baby. Ask Ballz. Seattle is like Disney World compared to most US cities.

    Worst I've experienced? Wandering off the campus of the University of Chicago. South Side baby! It ain't no joke.

    I told a wrong turn, walking, out of the MARTA in pre-smartphone days. I didn't feel exactly unsafe but extremely out of place. I tapped out, called a cab, and found I was just a few blocks from the high-rise office I was headed to.


    Most unsafe, quite easily, is Crow Agency, Montana.

    edit, that's behind Salem & Eugene of course.
    Got ripped off on MARTA trying to buy Braves tickets when they played downtown. How safe is it in and around downtow today?

    No they aren't. I'm retired and live in Idaho. But those guys behind you while your strapped over the saddle may kill you.

    Pacific Heights. You can get hammered at the triangle bars down the street.

    You do know that Mall Cop was actually the hero so your attempted and quite flaccid slam makes no sense, right dipshit?
