Most Dangerous Cities and the Safest States in the USA

November 21, 2007 By Bryan Coe 1 Comment

I came across one of those depressing statistics tonight that shows the most dangerous cities. Thankfully there were none in PA, but some of our neighbors have some problems. That includes Philly’s cousin across the river, Camden.

Here’s the top 15:

1. Detroit MI
2. St. Louis MO
3. Flint MI
4. Oakland CA
5. Camden NJ
6. Birmingham AL
7. North Charleston, SC
8. Memphis, TN
9. Richmond, CA
10. Cleveland, OH
11. Orlando, FL
12. Baltimore, MD
13. Little Rock AR
14. Compton, CA
15. Youngstown, OH

On a brighter note they listed the top 12 Safest States too. I think the key to some of them making the list is that no one lives there…

1. North Dakota
2. Vermont
3. Maine
4. New Hampshire
5. Wyoming
6. South Dakota
7. Montana
8. Iowa
9. Wisconsin
10. West Virginia
11. Connecticut
12. Idaho

Blackbird e-Solutions Teamed Up With Amazon.com for Black Friday Specials

November 20, 2007 By Bryan Coe Leave a Comment

Since we have two associate stores (BbeS German Language Shop, BbeS Network Hardware e-Shop) with Amazon for my company, they give us access to the special deals they have throughout the year. With Black Friday coming up they have a bunch of stuff going on. So, instead of fighting the crowds, sit back, enjoy some left over turkey, maybe have the first glass of eggnog to start the Christmas season and check out the deals below:

Black Friday Deals

On Black Friday Blackbird e-Solutions won’t have a cold, dark parking lot to line up in, but we will have a bunch of great deals to help you get holiday shopping done for less. This year in association with Amazon.com we’ve created a Black Friday page for holiday shoppers at Black Friday. Amazon.com will be offering hourly deals from 6am to 6pm PST along with thousands of products on sale for a limited time. Also, you will get gift wrapping for $.99 per item.
