Used to be the area just north of Downtown Lexington. Most notorious streets were Georgetown Street and Race Street. However the city's two worst public housing complexes were torn down in the 1990s and replaced with mixed income public housing (that was mostly single family homes). Northside has great Victorian architecture and has become a magnet for yuppies.
Based on where the murders the past few years have been I'd say Centre Parkway is now the most dangerous address in Lexington, and the SE side in general is the worst. Woodhill Drive is also bad (now commonly called "Hood hill") So far this year there have been 9 murders in that area (and NONE elsewhere). They include a cab driver shot to death outside an apartment building - no one called police for 10 HOURS after hearing 5 gunshots!!

wow thats crazy! never thought kentucky would have bad areas. That is really interesting.
it seems like in chi-town the hispanic gangs go harder then the black gangs. I mean people always say like philly and chi-town are very simliar to NY, but in NY and i think philly also put the black and hispanic gangs go dumd hard. actually both races will be in one gang together. Like bloods for example, or some up an coming street gang like LGRT in the Bronx.

Are they that lame block of grown fuqs that jumped the 2-3 boys? Smh only in the Bronx, 101 people to fight somebody over some stupidity.
Smh, my neighborhood [in a different borough] may be rough but I'm glad there's very few of those punk ass gangs, you could keep that idiocy. I'm never over here anyways and I can't wait to move lol.

Right.
i don't know about that. gangs in the bronx are crazy. Those gangs are more about killin an sellin crack then just jumping people. The whole jumping people type of gang thats more high school. Also what borough do you live in?

I've only been to SI a few times in my whole life, and that place is wried, it can be either hood like the BX or really nice like Long Island. I don't understand that place, but yurr East Flatbush is getting really bad again. gang/ drug related murders are becoming an everyday thing over there again from what moms tells me. I stay over in Clinton Hill and the part i livin is pretty gully also. Projects surround my ass.
