Most Dangerous Neighborhoods - WalletPop
So this is all ive been hearing for the past couple of days now, and found it pretty amuzing.
Yup, Over the Rhine, Cincinnati OH is the most dangeous place in the US. You have a 25% chance of soemthing happening to you if you enter this area lol.
Not sure how well this place is known, but it's also famous for the 2001 race riot, the biggest riot since LA '92.
People that live in Cincy know it's a bad place and avoid it like the plauge, there is atleast 1 death there per week, and over 20,000 911 calls throughout the year.
The mayor actually wanted to put a multi million dollar tram that went through the OTR area, and he became a laughing stock because everyone else knew the tram would just be desecrated by the locals there.
I worked in OTR for about a year as an IT guy for a publication house there, and it's not fun to be out there. The parking garage is like a maximum security prison to keep people out. Id have to walk btwn buildings time to time carrying computer equipment and I could just feel the stares. One night having to stay over to work on the servers, the the building was shot at and hit the window above the floor above me several times, so that was cool. Later in mid day someone was shot and killed near our building, and ended up on our doorstep basically lol.
Oddly enough, the area is really famous for some really good eateries and markets, it also was the pinnacle of the area during heavy immigration and industrialization periods. It's just a shame it's now turned into such crap.
Bitches dont know bout my OTR, Chicago is just a bunch of chumps. Wut.
