Bettendorf or Davenport, IA (the quad-cities area also includes the equally shitty Moline and Rock Island, IL)

See above for IL 

Williston, ND

Huron, SD

I’ve been to MN enough to know it’s not Edina

Cut Bank, MT (maybe it was Shelby...it was on the Rez)

Harlingen needs to be in the discussion.



Woah there, Son. I grew up close enough to Lima to hear the gunfire. And Lima > Dayton.

But can we agree Youngstown and East Cleveland are worse than both?
 

 

 

Other than the horrible horrible air quality, El Paso isn't so bad.

 

And anyone claiming Harlingen is worst, but not McAllen or Brownsville is suspect.

Bullshit:

Dallas, TX: I would nominate Beaumont, College Station, Waco, Lubbock, and about 20 other places before I get to Dallas. 

Birmingham, AL: Pretty much anything in AL is rough but there are some very cool spots in Birmingham as compared to other cities there that have nothing but racism and poverty

Spokane, WA: WTF? Spokane is a pretty cool town, beautiful setting. If you're going to shit on somewhere in WA I'm surprised they didn't pull Tacoma or Yakima

Kalihi, HI: It's not even a city. It's in the middle of Honolulu. 

Correct: 

Pueblo, CO

Camden, NJ


Cut Bank, MT (maybe it was Shelby...it was on the Rez)


Wolf Point, and you are correct.

Yeah, exactly.

Virginia Beach sucks ass, but it's not even in the bottom half of the worst of the state, much less THE worst.

Graham is North Carolina's rock bottom.

I haven't lived in North Carolina since 1994, but from what I remember, Gastonia is one of the shittiest shitholes in that state, so its designation on this map is not that far off.  Fayetteville (a/k/a Fayettenam) is also a pretty big pile of excrement.

Fayettenam is in Arkansas.  Been there.  We won. Not going back.

Picking on Gastonia seems like picking on Manor to me. Sure, it's a poor suburb of a city that it doesn't really have much in common with, but it's not like it's intentionally shitty or anything. Graham is were the KKK folk who are wealthy enough to be able to eat at restaurants where black people live, but don't want to actually live with them choose to live.

And Fayetteville, NC, is certainly a blah little burg, there's no question. But I'd call it bottom 10%, just not necessarily bottom 1%.

Lol Mesa is a 5 minute drive away from Scottsdale, one of the most beautiful cities in Arizona. Queen Creek or Apache Junction are a lot worse in the Phoenix area alone. Then there’s the rest of the state outside of Sedona, and Tucson.

I know people who named one of their daughters Mesa, presumably because of its Americanized use to describe a flatland. 

I wonder, but will never ask, if they know it means table. I also wonder what reaction she will get if she ever visits a Spanish speaking country or even a Hispanic neighborhood.

Maybe they were going for Mensa, but were too stupid to spell it correctly.

Topeka is spot on.

Modesto and Stockton would have to be a tie in NoCal an Bakersfield/Victorville/Twentynine Palms being SoCal.

Birmingham is actually a nice place. There are way worse places in Bama. Jackson is spot on.

Yeah, my parents lived in Harlingen for several years.  While it was after I was in college, so I was never a true resident, I've spent enough time down there to know that Harlingen is one of the better towns in the Valley (understanding that's a low bar).

I grew up in the RGV and Harlingen is probably one of the better places along with McAllen.  It's the outlying smaller towns that have issues and mostly they involve corruption. I mean it's very much like Chicago/Illinois  like corruption down there. 

There are more than a handful of places in McAllen where if you didn't know you were in South Texas, you'd think you were in (fill in the blank) upper to middle class suburb, Texas . Same goes for some of the shopping venues you won't find in Corpus, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Collie Station or a number of other shit holes here in Texas.

Not as much as it used to be back in the day.  Development has taken over some of the good hunting areas such as where citrus orchards used to be located.   Plus it's hard to hunt dove or quail close to the river now thanks to the border mess.   Used to be you could ride the back dirt roads and not be bothered or worry about being shot at from someone across the river.   It's not happening as much as it was a few years ago, but I still wouldn't chance it.  

Lubbock may be an flat souless shithole, but Beaumont is an unwashed dirty infected shithole.

El paso had the worst air in Texas today('cept for @Brisket's post lunch location of course)    when it was pretty clean throughout the state.  The area south and west of Wichita Falls has some of the best air in Texas on average.  Couldn't find the database that showed that.

Cooper Breaks State Park out by Quanah is also a Dark Sky area where stargazing is optimal.

Beaumont is by far the worst fucking shithole in Texas, unless you're counting Vidor.

Especially the shitty ones.  It's akin to naming Alamo Heights, Westlake, Hills, or River Oaks the worst cities in TX.

Aren't you the cool and smart one.

Beaumont, Killeen and Odessa are equally shitholes. Odessa wind cause it’s in the middle of fucking nowhere surrounded by shitty towns. 

In Pennsylvania, nothing is worse than Johnstown.

Living in the area, I agree that Youngstown is the worst in Ohio. East Cleveland has to be the most depressed in the country, but it's a suburb and the city of Cleveland is working to annex it to help it out.

In Montgomery there is a tiny sliver of land near Huntingdon College where one could cling to civilization like the last person on an island chain crumbling into a rising tide of Montgomery-ness.

But in general, if you stuck me in Montgomery, I'd walk to Birmingham. Hell, I'd walk to Selma. Selma's got crime, but it's happy friendly how's-your-mama-doin type crime.
