As a public service, this blog is issuing a travel advisory: Stay away from Huntington if you value your life. This might seem surprising, since that city has just had its first homicide of the year. But Huntington's estimated population (as of 2008) is 16,151, so that's, well, one homicide for every 16,151residents. Indianapolis, estimated population 798,382, just had it's 52nd homicide, which is one homicide for every 15,353 residents. So Huntington, we may say, is almost as dangerous as Indianapolis. You're welcome.
