Where are the no-go zones in the US?

I've seen gangs of quite young kids throwing stones at tourists walking home at night from the L'Enfant Plaza metro stop presumably to their hotel on South Capitol Street.  This was in DC. I would advise any white tourists to "no go" that part of town. I've had a rock and a bottle thrown at me on 8th Street between Chinatown and Howard University.

In order to answer that question I guess you would need to actually define what a zone is and what qualities a zone would have to get the designation "no-go".

I would say most of the state of Missouri personally.

The American right used to go on and on about "no-go" zone in Britain.  I thought it was complete bullshit, but this year football fans from a certain country were told not to show up in a certain city because it wouldn't be safe.  So I guess there are no-go zones now?

Also, this Egyptian guy, was he the same lot that got gunned down while people on Languish cheered 10-15 years ago?

This happens quite often in European competitions.

There's far more "no go zones" in the US than the UK.

The no-go zones in my city are a couple of tiny areas that are 100% white. Essentially the council puts all its most problematic families in the same couple of sink estates. These are the sort of areas which taxis do not go to and where a visiting ambulance of fire engine is stoned. It is like fractional distillation but with people. One of my walks takes me through the main Muslim area of the town, about half Muslim I would say, slightly less if anything, it is perfectly safe and even has quite nice vibes for what is a poor area.

Maybe it's only no-go for Jews.

I was talking to a friend about Brigitte; for someone acknowledged as a classic film star, she did disappear fairly quickly. I mean, Sophia Loren, at least, was making films till relatively recently. But Bardot?

I think she quit acting in the early 70s when she was still in her 30s (although, from what I've seen of them, her 70s films aren't very good.)

Yes, in 1973, being 38 years old. I have not watched her '70s movies, so I can't comment.

Weird suggestion
Not a very reactive guy there.... but funny as I was just talking about that game a few weeks back with my dad. Gary Rowell died the day before the Tyne-Wear derby this year so this game was being talked about a lot. I believe we had a minutes silence before playing Newcastle Utd.
My dad was there. Didn't mention getting in a fight though.
