Cincinnati tops list of most dangerous neiborhood cities in America

Cincinnati found itself #1 on the list of cities with the most dangerous neighborhoods in it. This is interesting because we’ve been around Over the Rhine many times in our life. Namely the summer of 2004 when we’d walk to the downtown courthouse every day to work. It’s no place where you’d want to be at night or anything, but it hardly seemed like we were a few yards away from one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the nation.

Surprising to me is that nowhere in Los Angeles made the list. Or how about Gary, Indiana. Those are certifiable shitholes. But little Cincinnati? Topping the list? Wow.

No worries, Reds fans. It’s a solid ten minutes from the Ballpark.
