@uponarriving: This is the most dangerous city in the United States. It’s Bessemer, Alabama, found just west of Birmingham, and it has a violent crime rate of 33 per 1,000 residents, almost nine times more than the national average. The town has a population of 26,000 and presents a blend of everyday life, but it also is home to an eerie abundance of abandoned structures, ranging from historic residences to shopping malls and even football fields. But the town does boast some culinary gems like Bright Star, the oldest restaurant in Alabama serving up renowned snapper and gumbo. Additionally, Bessemer marks the birthplace of several notable figures. Heisman winner Jameis Winston is from here along with perhaps the most athletically gifted professional athlete of all time, Bo Jackson.
