Boone surprised me. It's a dump, but I guess I never felt it was "dangerous"

Agree nothing about Boone would scare me.

I don't consider any town in Iowa to be overly dangerous. Go to Memphis and have a look around.

I call bs, no siouxer listed.

I'm a CB transplant, and while I hate it and think its ******, the criminals are more methy and dirtballs than dangerous IMO. Lots of B&E's and theft so they can sell $3 of copper for cigarettes and meth. Now North Omaha.....

I don't think Memphis is that bad. Certain areas like on the Arkansas side yea, but I didn't feel unsafe when I was in Memphis.

I meant to say West Memphis, which is indeed in Arkansas. Buy you are crazy if you don't think Memphis is dangerous. I've been there several times over the years and it's surprising what the gangs do down there.

Is this the same Homeland Security that listed Krispy Kreme in Clive in their list of Iowa's "critical assets"?

Don't believe me? Just Google "homeland security iowa krispy kreme"

Well W. Memphis is ****ed up yea. But I used to live right near the border of East Cleveland for a few months. You learned not to stop at stop signs. So Memphis doesn't phase me that much.

Memphis gangs do the same thing at stop signs and stop lights, in fact a couple months ago there was a spree of murders when people refused to give them money. If you have only been to Beale St. in Memphis that is not what the rest of it is like. Also East St. Louis used to be the murder capital of the USA not sure if it still is.

How is Fort Dodge #9 that place is a ***** hole

I've been to Memphis a few times, my sister used to live there. Only went to Beale St for the bowl game a couple years back.

Also, looks like Chicago is now according to a quick Bing search. I would've guessed it was New Orleans still (N.O. took over from East St.Louis a few years ago).

Hard to be dangerous when your in the clouds, which is why Boone is at 10.

 

[Tornado man]

I still want to hear from someone from Keokuk.

 

[ISUCubswin]

No Marshalltown?

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

No Marshalltown?

They don't have any money to be dangerous with

I agree, a list without Marshalltown is not complete when talking about dangerous towns.
