Baltimore #2? Couldn't be...

L.A. in the top 6 safest seems kinda odd.

From my time spent watching The Wire, I believe that ranking to be an accurate one.

After an Orioles game a few years back on my first trip to B-More, we closed down that ESPN Sports Zone that was just down the road from Camden Yard (I think it's gone now), and that ballpark area had a completely different feel late night after the baseball crowds had left. It was pretty sketchy. Saw some dudes trying to pull some other dude out of a cab, as the Cab was desperately trying to get away.

Love Camden Yards, but probably won't be returning to Baltimore any time soon. Not my favorite city.

Yea it can get shady around there. When you see blue lights along the streets you know you're in the wrong area haha. I've been to Lexington Market, which is actually a cool place, just a rough area surrounding. Driving outta there kinda makes you feel anxious. I've never had any bad experiences at Camden Yards or M&T, hell I even walked pretty far to get to my car after the Super Bowl parade in the stadium. Though someone did get stabbed there that day, but I like to make sure I'm around groups of ppl.

It didn't get bad there till late night. Pre-game and right after the game it was great down there. Plus all the Yankee fans in town stunk it up worse.

Since the last quarter of 2001, the crime rate in NYC has decreased across the board.

It is one of my favorite places to visit now.

The decrease in violent crimes in NYC is nothing short of amazing, whether it is attributed to actual police work or social programs, that is the important question.
