Situational Awareness - Where Not to Hang Out

Ten places to visit and ten to avoid.

I really enjoyed this article on the ten friendliest and 10 unfriendliest places to visit.
I'll give you an admission that I've been to at least 5 of these places that are the unfriendliest and to none of the friendliest.  Unfriendly might be taken as a place where you can be handed your head or your teeth.  I agree that Newark belongs in the #1 spot but Camden N.J. holds promise.  But we can only name ten so you can see that five of those cities reside in the U.S.A.  

Do some online research before you visit.
The truth is though that the wrong neighborhood in an ostensibly functional city can get be deadly.  I can name names.  How about Cherry Hill in Baltimore or Orleans Street and Front or North Avenue.   Ask the cops there and they'll tell you but be careful when you talk to them.

Looking for a Beatdown?
In Philly, PA,  try Broad street. 
Try Church in in Richmond, VA.
Memphis, Tenn has a number of choice spots for mayhem, and for that matter even Knoxville does.
Kansas City offers you so many opportunities that I won't name them.
All of these places can be quite unfriendly.

Advice:  Check beforehand when you plan to visit a locale and ask those you know that live there where to avoid.  It can save you much heartache and possibly your life.
