Chicago's not on the 25 worst?! Something is rotten in the State of Illinois.
P.S. jr - Gary's next door to Chicago, so I think that counts as upper Mest.

All of the ATL Riff-Raff live on the north (or NE) side of Atlanta and that's where Roswell is. Crazyfrog is probably the closest.

Gary? equals scary  You make sure you have gas by Merrillville and truck on through to Chi-town. There is no stopping in stinkyvilleGary.
I would like to point out there are no Texas cities on the list either. And look at how Ohio is reprezentin'

I give' em some slack since they're in the Central Time Zone part. They are no hotbed of crime like Minnetonka, though.

Woo-Hoo! My town! You'd believe it if you were here, though. There are tons of police cruisers parked around the town at all the banks and shopping centers. Sometimes they are occupied, sometimes not, but the po po's response time here is spectacular.

I gotta ask, what was the criteria? For years Allentown, PA was in the top 10, now nowhere. Trenton deserves to be there. But Reading? What gives?
Yet notice my fair city isn't there. woot!

ROSWELL is a safe city? do the makers of this list realize how close roswell is to atlanta??
i live about 25 min from roswell, thats where the nature center i teach at is...
its a nice place and its expensive to live there (compared to where i live...) but i dont know about it being that safe...
