I'm not sure if the colliseum is still around but that was one dank place.
Forrest hills was just a haven for goofy russian immigrants. Lots of hair gel and shiny shirts.

Wow. Anyway, I don't even think Jamaica is so bad. But then again, I probably have a higher tolerance for low-income neighborhoods. My grandmother lived in Queens (minutes from Jamaica Ave) for the last 20 years of her life, and pronounced it safe and comfortable. Of course, she grew up on Jamaica the island, and there are parts of Kingston that make some of the worst areas in New York look quite nice by comparison

To keep the discussion going, define the following, if you please:
A "bad" neighborhood is...
A "decent" neighborhood is...
A "good" neigborhood is...
An "excellent" neighborhood is...
