Most Dangerous Neighborhood in the US for 2013

I found this article about the Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in the US from the Huffington Post, written by Kate Abbey-Lambertz (Associate Editor for Huffpost Detroit). The opening paragraph:

In the most dangerous neighborhood in America, you have a one-in-seven chance of being the victim of a violent crime every year. Same goes for the second-most dangerous. You'll fare slightly better in the third-most dangerous, where your chances are one-in-eight. All three of those neighborhoods are located in the city of Detroit.

Since the most dangerous neighborhood in the US is close to where I live, I decided to take a look for myself.

Though even in the worst sections of Detroit, amidst the burned-out and abandoned houses, you'll still find well-cared-for homes.

And this home would be a standout in most any neighborhood in Detroit.

Driving Crestwood Estates Trailer Park

I had a day off work so, among other things. I took a drive through Crestwood Estates Trailer Park. It seems like a nice place.

Pass Christian, Mississippi Gulf Coast Homes

Here are a few of the homes along the Pass Christian, Mississippi Gulf Coast. All of these lie on US 90 or very close to US 90.

The two photos (above and below) are of the same house. The largest structure sits on the corner with the two smaller ones on either side.

Round Blue House

This house I call the Round Blue House, is on a corner lot and up a side street off US 90 in Long Beach, Mississippi and reminded me of houses I had seen close to the ocean around Santa Cruz, California years ago.

It's just a round (maybe 12 short sides) blue house, probably 300-400 square feet, on stilts, with parking and some storage below.

And there was this screened work room and a shed out back.

The last two pictures (below) I took with a tripod and the HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging technique of merging 3 bracketed photos together. You can see the color and detail are a bit better than the photos above.

Long Beach, Mississippi - Gulf Coast Homes

It's only mid-morning of Day 6 of my trip south from Detroit. I've already taken photos in Gulfport, Mississippi and along its Gulf Coast. But still a long day ahead.

---

Long Beach, Mississippi doesn't have a lot of homes along its Gulf Coast so I had to drive up the side streets from US 90.

These next 3 photos are of the same house.

See the fans on the ceiling of the porch in the photo below.

The photos above and below are of the same home. This is a small place in comparison to some of the others.

This pink home (below) has an interesting feature....

It has an elevator. See it on the left in the photo below?
