Cleveland has too many to mention all of them.

I would say the largest or most well known bad streets are St. Clair, Superior, Wade Park, E79th, E93rd, E105th, Kinsman, and Harvard. Really the entire Eastside area is known as bad, from the numbered streets 30th/55th (depending on how far N or S) all the way out to 152nd to 185th.

In the smaller cities outside of Cleveland, Elyria and Lorain. For Elyria it's Middle/West ave and any numbered streets from 6th-18th, also Fuller rd. For Lorain it's Reid, Long, Washington, and Elyria ave. Also Globe, Pearl, 28th-31st, Really any numbered street from 8th-31st on the westside then 28th-36th in South Lorain.
