Another hood of mention, although obscure, most people haven't been there is Red Brush in Beckley, WV. Some of those real poor towns in southern WV in the middle of nowhere are all black and I mean everything: the houses, cars, street surfaces, and the people. Except for the people , the reason why the other things are black is due to coal mines sitting right in the middle of town. Youd think it wouyld be all big bearded stankin' rednecks down there but its mostly black guys, other than the white girls that do them. Towns such as Northfork, Keystone, Gary, and Welch are examples. Soemtimes I wonder who are the black women getting with today, Id say at least 7 out of 10 black guys are with white women, mostly humongous women too. Why is that?
Damn you beat me too it. People dont even pay attention to rural west virginia. It's pretty bad because they are surrounded by other rural town with no money so local govt. cant really help them.
The other nasty hoods I have hung out in- in my wild days are East Camden and Main St. in Camden, North Philly- the ugliest city I ever seen(you have to be a good detective in order to find a house that isnt burnt out or busted up)
There is no worse neighborhood. There are just bad and good areas. I grew up in the ghetto and I have been to plenty up and down the east coast and some in the mid west. They all have the same problems.
I have been to all these neighborhoods, hung out in them even lived in some. I didn't name all the bad areas in some cities but these are the ones I am very familiar with:

A good amount of areas in Miami like Liberty City, Overtown, Little Havana/Haiti and even areas in Dade like Brownsville.

Housing projects and the surrounding areas mostly in southeast Yonkers.
South and East Washington D.C. like Anacostia.
There are more but you get the idea. It's the same no matter which one you go to. Same issues.
I though that picture you used for Yonkers, was in Atlanta???
Oh because I remember that picture was used for the Pittsburgh neighborhood in Atlanta.
