boo! I don’t believe it! The funny thing is that I live just 20 minutes North of Detroit in one of the safest cities in the nation. ha!

which came first, #1 & #10 safest city OR one of the countries most recognized churches.

(( in case you don’t get what i’m saying, Mission Viejo and Lake Forrest California are two of the cities that Saddleback Church minister to. ))

Camden, NJ used to have that honor. Ah, those were the days.

And we were all quite excited to go to NYWC when we heard St Louis was the most dangerous at the time. Great fun adventure.

Two Detroit suburbs were on the safe list so it can’t be all bad.

detroit has had that honor several times before, hasn’t it? i lived in the inner city there for a few months in 87 and i seem to remember it being ranked pretty high then too.
