Back in the 90s and early 00s Lake Providence had a gang problem completely out of proportion to size and location. I understand that since then their crime rates have moved much closer to the norm for similar areas. But for awhile they carried a national rep as the most dangerous small town in America. The police even imposed citywide curfews on multiple occasions to cool things off.

The gangs just moved down to Tallulah. That damn place is turning into a war zone.
