Easiest way to get around memphis and avoid trouble.

Anything along the Poplar Ave. corridor, out to east Memphis is safe. Anything north and south of that line is no place to be.

A Seattleite might say its rough as they eat their gluten free bar but that would be laughable to us. They have never been to somewhere like West Jackson.

NYC is very shady outside of certain areas but the ones I've heard the worst about are Bed-Stuy and East New York. Nobody I knows goes to the Bronx either outside of Yankee games or the zoo.


Bed-Stuy is gentrified. Not that familiar with the Bronx. Most of Harlem and Washington Heights has been gentrified although you still have a few projects.

The worst area of Brooklyn is a project in East New York called Pink Houses, the worst projects in Queens are in Far Rockaway(near the beach) not sure what they are called.

Alright, peej..tell me where in Seattle would you not walk at night?



I don't live there. You seem to. YOU TELL ME. I assure you that there are areas that people would be scared to be around after dark. I think Seattle is a great city. If I won the Powerball I would live out that way.

I've been there 5 times and have been all over. Never seen an area even remotely bad. Worst place might compare to Sherwood Forrest or something.
That cute little train ride you claim to have taken from the airport to downtown is nothing. Just because you saw an industrial area and some old buildings doesn't make it a hood.

Exactly. Seattlietes are afraid of Tacoma. There's nothing here that compares to most cities in the South.

For Birmingham, it's pretty much easier to say it this way:
Any place in Jefferson County, except for Mountain Brook, Cahaba Heights, Vestavia, Hoover, and McCalla. And maybe Trussville.
