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.

Couldn't even tell you where it is, but the concierge at Hotel Valencia in San Antonio set me up one night. Walked through some areas with people smoking crack at bus stops, Mexicans staring me down, and about 100 people in a dark park at 1 in the morning

Yeah I posted earlier that that area is in the top 3 worst in the US that I've seen. I was there after dark and it was scary. Saw a huge fight break out on a corner and I floored it before someone started shooting
