Most Dangerous Areas

Any particular areas you wouldn't want to get lost at?

Woodbridge. I've spent time in just about every part of the city, and the one time I got robbed it was at Forest and Avery.

Miz, are you visiting for the Final Four? Or visiting for any particular other reason?

I am serious that I spend time in many different parts of the city on a fairly regular basis, and that the only time I've ever been robbed was in Woodbridge. I'm facetiously extrapolating my personal experience to mean that Woodbridge is more dangerous than other parts of the city, in an attempt to make a mockery of the whole question "what are the most dangerous parts of Detroit, " because I think it's kind of a dumb question. Got it?

The most dangerous? I'd say Michigan Ave, from downtown to Dearborn, anywhere near rush hour. People drive like there are no defined lanes! It's downright scary... one guy in front of you doing 12 mph, while another is coming up from behind doing 60 and changing lanes with no rhyme or reason.

The Grosse Pointes. I might have to sing my way out.

Woodward and Jefferson, You never know when Monica Conyers is going to come out of that building on the corner.

Every street in Detroit is dangerous. I know, because I grew up in the hood! In the ghetto. My friends got killed, some of family members got killed, my family even got beat up and mugged by gang members, thieves and raped. That's is every day life in Detroit. So watch yourselves. All of Detroit is a big ghetto, and people are a part of it.

And it keeps getting worse. Used to be you got robbed because someone needed money. I'm not condoning it, but somehow you could justify it in your mind. Now you can get killed for sport. Life means nothing to this new breed. Yours or theirs.

Basically anywhere off the beaten path is pretty dangerous in Detroit. I would have to say that the most dangerous area if I am looking at one area is the area off of the Chrysler between 6 and 8 Mile.

The most dangerous area That I've grew up in Detroit was... Wait a minute! every area in Detroit is the most dangerous.

That is a statistical impossibility. It's like when Garrison Keillor says that all the children in Lake Wobegon are above average.

**Ocean2026** · April-04-09, 06:17 PM

Bear -Exactly right - because there are no children IN lake wobegon - only fish- and they are all below average.

**7andkelly** · April-04-09, 08:22 PM

Ocean, some truth to that, sad to say.

It's one thing to feel safe when it's just you. In some ways it's a measure of courage ... or maybe brains.

It's a different matter entirely when you think you're putting your family or others with you in harms way. The bar is much higher then.

The Coleman A. Young Municipal Center City Council Chamber hands down!

I'd say the entire building.

One time I talked to a guy who worked for Michigan Bell who collected coins frome the pay phones. He said Rosa Parks frome W. Grand Blvd. to Highland Park and the surrounding area was the worst in his opinion. At least in terms of robberies.

There are lots of Hoodlums and riff raff in Birmingham.

Midtown is the most dangerous area in Detroit. Things are so bad, the DPD had to be called in to act as crossing guards, so the yupsters could make it safely accross the street.

The voting places in the inner suburbs on August 5, 2014.

Many people will be very angry at people like me who claim voting NO is the smart choice.

Claim is a great word

Thanks for your honesty That Great Guy

Some parts of Highland Park, seeing as I got shot at there once.

**MorrisRecords90** · February-13-15, 07:17 PM

If you live in the suburbs and only go downtown when there is an event/concert, those folk would consider the entire city a "dangerous neighborhood". But realistically, one of the worst areas nowadays is near 7 & Gratiot [[east side red zone), harper/van dyke is not a friendly neighborhood, one time i got lost over near Shoemaker & French Road/ Harper & French, that is a BAD neighborhood after dark, 8 mile/I-75 to 7 mile/I-75, parts of southwest have gang problems but nothing real serious, I mean it depends who you are. If you are a nervous surburbanite that is praying to God as you are passing through the city [[Even on the Freeway), than you probably shouldnt be in the city outside of downtown/midtown. I am a white male, I am in the city everyday [[west side), usually walking/busing. I never have a problem. I walk day and night. Any area you are unfamiliar with could be considered dangerous.

Lots of bodies seem to drop west of Linwood, north of Oakman, east of Wyoming, and south of McNichols. From a law enforcement perspective, any area with a denser population with high crime would be considered the most dangerous. Areas NE of city Airport to me are the most dangerous, the NE part of the city in general has concentrated crime.
