Id have to go with either Sulpher Springs or Suitcase city (university) areas of Tampa, Fl. I was at steak and shake the other night in S Springs and 2 small kids tried to pull a knife on our table, then ran out. Interesting area lol.

I think Pine Hills aka Crime Hills and Paramore are probably the worst areas in Orlando. But you can get taken in many different neighborhoods here. In Kissimmee where I live is also pretty bad now, they have crack heads running the streets all up and down 192, some dude got murked right down the street from me a week ago. Lots of drugs going around here.

How can you love I-4? I avoid that road at all costs.

The most dangerous part of Huntsville is Southwest, especially along Governors Drive west of the Parkway. Though the city has had only 16-17 murders this year, most of them have occured there.

Pretty much any area that begins with North, South, East, or West and ends in "Nashville" is the "bad area" since these are the areas immediately adjacent to the central city.

That probably holds true in many cities.
In Tuscaloosa, West End is thought of as a high-crime area and is often referred to as the Wild Wild West.

In Augusta, the worst neighborhoods are Bethlehem, Turpin Hill, Laney Walker, and East Augusta.  Lots of burned out and boarded up shot gun shack homes and businesses with raisor wire around them.  In Atlanta, the neighborhood of Pittsburg was ranked the most dangerous in the country a couple years ago.  Other areas there are Bolton, Vine City, Mechanicsville, parts of Summerhill and Peoplestown, Bankhead, East Lake, Lakewood Heights, Adamsville, ect...

InFayettvilleNC it is Grove street, south-east of DT and of course DT-northeast to MLKAlso there is a little section of the city called Boonie Doone that is notorious. Here in Vegas it is north nellis, east Craig in North LV. Main street to north Las Vegas BLVD, west Charleston, north boulder Hwy. Its funny because the safest place is the strip.

Louisville Rd, West Savannah, parts of east Savannah and parts of Garden City are the worst in the Savannah area in my opinion, but there are many others.   I think the entire city of my hometown Birmingham, except for probably parts of Huffman and Southside is dangerous.  Birmingham was ranked the 10th most dangerous city in America and for good reason.  Huge murder rate for a city with only 240,000 residents.

I suppose the answer to that depends on whether you are referring to crime, drugs, or road/driving dangers?

In Winston-Salem I would say just East of Downtown (the numbered streets, like E.5th, E 21st, etc.) or the Waughtown/Sprague St. neighborhoods.  Oh, and don't forget Liberty St.

The most dangerous area in any city is any one that has Martin Luther King Blvd. attached to it. Often, MLK Blvd. takes you deep into the ghetto. Frenchtown in Tallahassee is still considered by many locals to be the most notorious part of Tallahassee, even though the criminal element has been driven out due to revitalization. Ebony Gardens projects, formerly located at Macomb & Fourth Ave got knocked down due to old age & violence/drug traffic.
