Charlotte? Charlotte? That's nutty.

Atlanta is much worse than Charlotte.

Cleveland didn’t make the top 10?

So is Richmond. These cities aren’t going to get better because they don’t have the mindset to get better.

The last time my dad was in NYC, he walked through Central Park at night. A cop stopped him and said “Are you crazy? It’s full of criminals”. My dad asked “If it is full of criminals, why don’t you send the police in there and arrest them?”. The cop was stunned that anyone would think of something so outrageous. Crime is simply expected in urban areas.

We had a mission team come into town this week and they were telling us we need to go into the areas that we normally drive around instead of through. They didn’t understand that we don’t have those areas. There are no bad parts of town here. I can go anywhere I want without fear.

I was surprised to see Charlotte on there too. I have friends there that I visit and my impression of Charlotte is that it is pretty nice. Of course I probably only got to see the “nice” parts. They moved there from Boca which the husband hated.
