re: Most dangerous place you have been to

Chicago red line train from 35th down to 95th.

Also had to stop at a gas station in Gary, Indiana.

Honorable mention: tailgating at Legion Field in Bham.

Those are some pretty damn rough neighborhoods. I take Stoney Island Avenue to get to the toll road when I want to avoid the Dan Ryan traffic when I need to leave the city, and even as much traffic as that road has, I am still on my game driving through some of those hoods. The area around Maryam Mosque sucks.

I still say the Humboldt Park/Garfield Park area on the West side is the worst part of the city. It might be the closest thing to the third world I've ever seen in the United States.

Outside the US, besides my military adventures: Matamoros was one tough place. I should have never gone there.
