Bessemer is the worst city - 10/5/2012
I have lived in many cities. The worst I have ever lived in is Bessemer, Alabama. Crime is rampant!!! There are parts of Bessemer that I would not go into even with a gun. This is the most unfriendliest town I have ever had the misfortune to live in. Most cashiers do not know how to greet you or even exchange a smile. It is also the most rascist city I have ever lived in. My brother came for a visit, he cut his visit short, because the African Americans were so rude to him at the hotel, walmart, restaurants, even a auto parts store. He went back home after a 2 day stay, which was suppose to be for a week. He told me as long as I lived there, he would never visit again. I honestly can not think of one nice thing to say about that town, except if you do not have to go there, DON'T.
