First it was the World Series, now this? Adding insult to injury, Detroit must follow St. Loius yet again in the rankings, this time for most disgustingly crime-ridden city. I would have thought that "the D" as we fondly call it, would have had THIS competition in the bag. But no. The one thing, the only thing that Detroit had going for it, and we are shamed yet again.

The safest city was Brick, N.J. With a name like that, it HAS to be boring as hell.
Despite Detroit coming in second, we can at least console ourselves that we also secured the #3 on the list as well, which was Flint, Michigan.

One of the Great Crises we face in today's world is the stability and security of the water supply. In America, most people don't have any problems getting water, to the extent that we tend to waste it, and few people even know where there water comes from. Every now and then there emerges a…

I was rooting for the Tigers (they clobbered my Royals enough, I wanted to see them share the punishment), but I've been to both Detroit and St. Louis. StL wins this one hands down. Terrible place, hate it (may be my Kansas City bias showing through, what the hell).
