I believe you are correct.
What's with Athens at #2?

Very disappointing, but not at all surprising, to see East Ridge on that list.

Bean pot closed brother.

Cleveland has a lot of Mexican gang activity now....no joke.

But Lebanon shocks me.

I honestly wonder if by violent crime they mean fist fights too...which would throw Knoxville up there due to college bar fights.

What's up in Dyersburg?

 

[volinbham]

Bean pot closed brother.

oh lawd - no wonder the place went to hell

Lebanon was getting bad when my family left in 2006. Can't imagine what it's like now.

The FBI came out and said the list isn't a fair representative of the actual levels of danger the cities, and that it was put together by a security alarm company.

I'm sure Memphis is still the most dangerous with Nashville in second place.

 

[CNCVol88]

I believe you are correct.
What's with Athens at #2?

Angry UT fans when Saban came to town?

 

[Plano Vol]

If Kingsport is on the list, it must be because of auto accidents.

 

[McDad]

My area is last on that list. Suck it, you crime-riddled losers!

Where did you live Bur?

 

[KentheOrange]

I haven't lived in Tennessee in 35 years and am shocked that Newport is not on the list.

Newport has calmed way down. It is nothing like it use to be. You ate correct, 35 years ago it would have been on the list, probably at the top.

Would be interested to see where Bucksnort ranks.

 

[Coastypop]

I believe you are correct.

What's with Athens at #2?

Give them a chance and they can take over number one soon

 

[Coug]

Knoxville beat out Nashville?!

Something fishy about that.

Athens?! Seriously?

 

[BruiserVol]

Memphis is #1 and the rest are so far behind. List is dumb IMO.

 

[barknoxbrawler]

Would be interested to see where Bucksnort ranks.

69th on the list. Only reason it's even on the list is because of the adult superstore at the exit.
