I live in Chicago man. Im always on the border of a bad neighborhood, I play pickup in the park anywhere, and I regularly volunteer on the statistically worst block of the entire city. I have spent time as an inmate in Cook County Jail(1). Come visit some time I’ll show you around

If that's the case then you should know being fit isn't going to mean much if you run into an actual BMFer.

I grew up in Atlanta and I lived in Chicago for awhile. From my personal experience, and the stats back me up, Atlanta is worse for violent crimes. The worst thing that happened in Chicago was someone broke into my car when I wasn't home. In Atlanta I was stabbed when I wouldn't hand over my wallet.

Through sheer luck during my youth I didn't end up dead or in prison.


I live in Chicago(land --- across Austin from Austin and Augusta). What is statistically the worst block of the entire city?
