I was reading an old thread about Laredo last night and was a bit surprised as to how many felt unsafe there. It got me to thinking where had I felt the most unsafe. I do a lot of Detroit and back in the Fed days did a lot of big city east coast stuff. But....

For me....it was the TA in downtown Nashville.

What say you ?

Didn't much like the Flying J off I-20 in Dallas. Been to a few sketchy Walmarts here and there, but mostly noise -- kids blasting rap music at 2AM or with loud pipes. The WM in Alsip, IL is about as rough as I'll typically stay at, but it's in a prime location in SW Chicagoland.

Yeah forgot about the j in Dallas. Usually stay on the other side of the freeway at the TA.

Detriot is the only place someone threatened to shoot me. At the drop off. An employee there. Because i asked where the shipping office was...."go round dat corna my niggas will show you summ BLAT BLAT BLAT" pretty sure they were :censoredsign:ing with me because im a skinny young white dude in the bad area of detroit (called detroit). But still not my best experience at a customer.

Sometimes I get a gut feeling about the safety of place I plan on sleeping at. The J just southwest of Birmingham comes to mind. I got fuel and parked. After watching out the windshield for a short time, my gut said move. So I did and went north to a Wallyworld. I've stayed at the other J off I-65 several times, which is a dump, but never felt a serious safety threat.

On this date in 1951 the first comic strip of Dennis the Menace was published. He was not mincing garlic.

Heard that on radio this morning about the anniversary. That's just too good of a coincidence to let go by. :D
