DETROIT: AMERICA'S MOST DANGEROUS CITY?

LAWRENCE, Kan. (Wireless Flash) -- This news should drive the citizens of Motor City crazy: Detroit has just been declared "America's Most Dangerous City." That's according to a new study conducted by Morgan Quitno Press, a Kansas-based research company which arrived at its figures by ranking crime rates in major cities and comparing them to the U.S. average. The rest of the top five dangerous cities are Atlanta; Camden, New Jersey; Baltimore and St. Louis. America's safest city is Newton, Massachusetts, followed by Amherst, New York; Mission Viejo, California; Thousand Oaks, California; and Greece, New York. Meanwhile, the "Most Dangerous City" classification has Detroit tourism officials fighting mad, and a spokesperson claims the city's crime rate doesn't even rank in the top ten.
