    Youngstown, O

    Most of the bad stuff in the bad part of town happens under the cover of darkness, in my experience. Dont act like a "mark" (as they used to say), and you should be alright particularly if you have one or two guys with you. Btw, I always heard that the cities in Ohio had been dug pretty...
