Stories from North Dakota

Monday, October 30, 2006

Well I guess there is something to be proud of. My home city was named the most dangerous in all of the nation the other day.

"A surge in violence made St. Louis the most dangerous city in the country, leading a trend of violent crimes rising much faster in the Midwest than in the rest of nation." ~CNN.com

To be honest this news really doesn't surprise me. The violent crimes are mostly confined to the inner city where unemployeement is higher, education levels are lower, and the overall aora is very low. With only 330,000 residents actually in the inner city and nearly 1.5 million in the surrounding suburbs it makes the city look even worse than normal.

At least we beat Detroit twice in the same week. The second most dangerous city was Detroit, followed by Flint, Michigan, and Compton, California.

Now all the dangerous jokes are going to be about 'Da Lou'
