Random Memorial for Monday 11/22/10

Gone but not forgotten: my living a greater distance from the nation's most dangerous city.

Hot off the presses (and more likely to be picked up and reported online by NJ-affiliated sites) -- St. Louis is now the dangerous-est place to be, knocking Camden to #2. I've only been there once (to visit family in Turkey Hill -- the suburb, not the east coast convenience mart) and I rode the Arch without issue and the only injury I sustained was in being disappointed by the "mighty" Mississippi. I've actually spent more time in Camden, although that was all about going to concerts at the Tweeter Center -- and any extra time in that city was because we couldn't find the way back to the bridge to the safety of PA and its Turnpike!

Because 263 miles is closer than 666 miles (?!?), Camden's position at the top of the scary-place-to-be list, you are missed.

OF COURSE, DETROIT AND FLINT ARE PRETTY DAMN CLOSE:
