fort mcmurray. im here for four days. its as bad as people say...

i was in southern saskatchewan a month ago in the small town of estevan. it seemed like a nice town as i was walking around. just as i finished thinking that, some young thug backed up his car and said "hey asshole, why dont you use a crosswalk"...by no means was i was jaywalking. i said "fuck you". he then drove up and turned around, i ducked into a pizza store as i figured he was going to kick my ass.

fuck all of western canada. especially fort mac though.

hmm maybe lethbridge, saying that i am going back to waterton park thsi year for a few days on a road trip to BC

Oakland

cheadle, staffordshire

the worst cheadle in england, this place was royston fucking vasey without the intrigue.
All we wanted was some food, or any shop. Nothing.

we had to go to a place called uttoxeter (what a lovely name_)

haha i have passed through there, it is a shitehole

Henrietta, OK. Or pretty much the whole state of Arkansas

I really cant think of anywhere right now. there's a few places I don't like, for different reasons.

camden nj

Wilmington, Mass. I had to live there for a while though. every place is okay to me if I'm just passing through.

Salinas, CA
Reynosa, Tamaulipas, MX

Detroit, MI - I have some relatives in MI but even from an early age Detroit taught me the definition of shithole.

Brookline, Mass. I had to live there for a while though. every place is okay to me if I'm just passing through.

What the fuck is wrong with Brookline?

east st. louis

or

gary, indiana

jacksonville

ugh

What the fuck is wrong with Brookline?
wtf. I meant Wilmington. sorry, I crosswired two places I've lived.

camden, nj
columbia, sc
louisiana

Settlement? What is this, Oregon Trail?

jacksonville

ugh

That is actually a close second for me.

A few years ago I passed by there and went through a Taco Bell drive-tru, the employee greeted me by saying, "Yo man, what shit do you want man?" (not kidding)

wtf. I meant Wilmington. sorry, I crosswired two places I've lived.

Gotcha. Never been to Wilmington, but I spend the vast majority of my time in Brookline and thus was confused.

That is actually a close second for me.

for me it's the utter boringness of the landscape. the cancerous urban sprawl has turned it into a massive field of asphalt comprised of nothing but chain restaurants and stores. i mean, most amerrican cities have their fair share of walmarts and mcd's but there's nothing else in jacksonville, a city of millions. its only cultural contributions are limp bizkit and lynyrd skynyrd. 20 lane highways jammed with cars with only one person in them. it's a fucking atrocity in urban planning and development.

fuck jacksonville.

Ocean City MD was not the worst but the most surreal for me. Not a real city but a tourist destination filled with blocks and blocks of hotels. Weird!

I did not much care for Brooklyn NYC when I went to visit a friend's family. I had never seen a stripped car lying on its hood before or since.

yeah gary is pretty bad i got stuck there with three girls in swimsuits

South Beach, Miami.

It's like LA threw up there or something.

Baltimore. i've never been more uncomfortable being white in my life.

I really cant think of anywhere right now. there's a few places I don't like, for different reasons.

did she roll you?

norfolk, virginia. and i echo the same sentiments of baltimore. and washington, dc. the suburbs of DC are fine, but man. DC is rough. chicago sucked when i went there. philadelphia i actually liked alot. even the ghetto. but i didnt stop long enough to get killed for being white there.

provo, utah needs to be nuked off this planet. paris sucked for me. french people really are assholes. i couldnt stand italy much, but i was only there for a day. LA is probably the worst place in the world though. maybe surpassed by tijuana.

why have you guys gone to camden? jeez.

every piece of land between philadelphia and chicago.

i've only driven through bakersfield, ca before, but i'm pretty sure that has to be the worst place in california.

pretty much anywhere rural in the west

huntly, nz - i get depressed at the thought of driving through there one more time


bordertown in the middle of the nothing between melbourne and adelaide - bunch of cunts

cleveland, ohio for horriblefest. needless to say it was horrible.

i love me some shitholes. granted i never been to the rustbelt but i've read plenty and seen enough pictures to know that i'd probably love exploring places like detroit, east stl, gary, etc. just so much character in these places and so much beauty in its grit (i liked newark and camden nj). hick towns dont bother me either (been to a few in nevada. they are pretty creepy in a great way). they're good amusement and sometimes they can be in pretty rustic places. the biggest shithole for me would be place that lacks both beauty and character and needless to say i haven't travelled a lot but i'd award that title to some place like Bakersfield or Barstow.

cleveland, ohio for horriblefest. needless to say it was horrible.

i was wondering when someone would say that. its really not that bad.
eastern texas near the arkansas border disgusted me though.

west desmoine, iowa

Oakland would be right up there.

most of Los Angeles was horrid, and there are alot of small depressing toilet towns in NZ.

Huntly, as mercurial said, is particularly bad

central florida

all of it

brooks, alberta. the entire town smells like an asshole. and even if it didn't it'd be one of the worst. and one of my exes has settled down there now. :erm:
for an actual city, winnipeg. even if it wasn't uninhabitable it was really boring and really scummy.
and i've been to gary, indiana and some sad economically struggling towns in poland.

central florida

all of it

chill out

a little north of here, i understand

Henrietta, OK. Or pretty much the whole state of Arkansas

Oh come on. Arkansas as a whole is not that bad. Little Rock and it's surrounding area isn't bad at all, and the northwest part of the state is one of the more affluent and faster growing areas in the entire country. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of shitty places here, but there's not enough to slag the entire state.

If we're gonna write off entire states, the conversation begins and ends with Mississippi. I got dragged on a vacation to Biloxi one time, and I thought it was the most miserable place in the world (and it's supposed to be the hot tourist/entertainment spot in the state). That is until some years later where I got dragged to Starkville. Going there was quite literally like traveling back in time to 1962. I actually feel kinda gloomy even thinking about the place.

The entire state of NJ. It was so drab the entire state is one big awful blur in my mind.
Hawkesburry, ON was pretty awful. So many Aerostar sightings in one day, it was more then we could handle.
Honourable mention: a few West Bank towns, including Bethlehem. Economically depressed, the children follow you around everywhere in hope of finding any cash you might toss their way. The stores are borded up, and it is a sad but beautiful place to be.

without a doubt, honduras. as sson as you get out of the airport youre greeted by kids willing to help carry your bags just so they can get some money. one particular spot on the drive from the airport to my grandmas house theres an area near a river bank thats filled with homes made out of metal scraps, with garbage, rotting food, feces of humans and animals, etc. The smell is just terrible and to think taht anyone could live in those conditions, atrocious. O yea, and a little flooding that can easily happen with a hurricane would wash all that away anyways. Those of the conditions for far too many people in that country.

Henrietta, OK. Or pretty much the whole state of Arkansas

ok is awful. I had to go to lawton and tipton one year. Tipton was scary. I don't think I have ever seen mosquitos as big as the ones in ok. And 110 degrees by 10 am.

utah needs to be nuked off this planet.

agreed

and the mormons who come with it

The entire state of NJ. It was so drab the entire state is one big awful blur in my mind.
keep thinking that. we're not the most populated state cuz we suck. :)

There's so many to choose from:

Tyler, Texas is a little slice of deep south in the swampy thicket of the Piney Woods. Those guys that dragged that black guy behind their truck until he fell apart were from this area...so...yeah...

The North New Jersey Industrial Megaplex. I don't know what the fuck they call it, but it's what people are talking about when they say New Jersey sucks. It made me cry when I was on a subway riding back to the suburbs, wasted and cranky at 700 in the morning. It's the most unholy blight capitalism ever foisted upon the world.

Corpus Christi, Texas. I've never seen so many ugly people in my life. It's like the refineries retard everyone and all the pretty people move to San Antonio and Houston to mate.

Huntington, West Virginia. It's like the whole city is a run down ghetto surrounded by mountains and coal plants. Randy Moss is from here...

That's my favorite part of NJ. It's beautiful driving passed there at night.

I HATE MORMANZ

Louisiana, USA

Interesting because I thought most of Honduras was pretty beautiful. Did the kids follow you around trying to sell you Chicle (gum?)? I was on a tour of some Mayan ruins and ended up giving my entire lunch to the local youngsters.

I gotta say that Bristol, TN and surrounding areas are all pretty fucking sad. I had some time to kill in that shitburgh a couple of months ago and was amazed at how the whole fucking town is stuck in the 70s (and not in a neat retro kind of way).

at least america's got this vast landscape to dwarf the crumminess of the worst towns. england's tiny yet for every beautiful or culturally significant town you get about 5-10 miserable vacuous shitholes full of council housing, poor planning, identikit highstreets, youth crime, druggies, the works. the state of the country is so depressing sometimes.

ed- i don't have definite nomination but this pretty much sums up the average british Scum Town:

Waco, Sheffield erm... Portsmouth is pretty bad in the UK

Dundee is a city I'm not sure of...it is one of the grimmest places in the UK, but has a charm as well because it is such a shithole

probably fucking blackpool

central florida

all of it

:banging: yep, i live here...pretty lame.

probably fucking blackpool

true. it is shite. nice tower mind

:banging: yep, i live here...pretty lame.

are you a native.

john have you ever been to the florida caverns up near pensacola

"Yo man, what shit do you want man?" (not kidding)

ROFL!!!:rofl:

agreed

agreed. just let me move outta here first :(. actually, i really like alot of utah. provo and salt lake as cities suck. and st. george, the only other "city" is crap too. i love the outdoors here though. if we can kill ze mormons, this place wouldnt be so bad.

john have you ever been to the florida caverns up near pensacola

no, i haven't. i haven't really been west of i-75 which is a shame.

have you been?

Aberdeen, Scotland.

Followed closely by Fresno, California, and Port Aurthur, Texas.

anyone ever been to Wickiup, AZ?
Whew.. our car broke down there.. it was..an interesting day.

someone said salinas - it's bad, but in a totally different way.

Aberdeen, Scotland.


Good call. Aberdeen is depressing as fuck.

no, i haven't. i haven't really been west of i-75 which is a shame.

have you been?i'm going next week to camp for 2 nights with my girlfriend. apparently the highest point in florida is nearby (and is something like 350 ft. above sea level) along with the only waterfall in florida (which flows from ground level 75 ft. down to an underground stream)

those are some impressive heights!

welcome to florida! it's been years since i've seen a hill

Interesting because I thought most of Honduras was pretty beautiful. Did the kids follow you around trying to sell you Chicle (gum?)? I was on a tour of some Mayan ruins and ended up giving my entire lunch to the local youngsters.

were you in copan? Ive been there a couple times to visit the ruins and it is fucking beautiful over there, no doubt. Out of the airports kids are just there waiting, not even offering anything.

The scenery is nice (especially for someone like me who lives in florida) but every city is dirty, really hot, crime ridden, and just not a place you'd really want to be.

Fort Myers, FL
Berlin, NH
Worcester, MA

there are some pretty impressive hills out west on 50.

went to see a sox game?

Spent a week there at spring training last year. The baseball was fantastic, the city itself is a shithole. Worst place I have ever driven in my life. My god the traffic lights...the people not accelerating when the millions of lights turned green..the construction everywhere...I wanted to shoot someone, something.

are you a native.

no, i was born in buffalo, n.y. its friendly there, but here it feels like a poor mans L.A. and everyone talks "slower."

no one can ever seem to understand the black people in orlando, when they arent from here originally.

well there's just a lot of haitians out by where you are.

and ditto on the slow talking.

Penzance, Cornwall. What a shithole.

agreed. just let me move outta here first :(. actually, i really like alot of utah. provo and salt lake as cities suck. and st. george, the only other "city" is crap too. i love the outdoors here though. if we can kill ze mormons, this place wouldnt be so bad.

yea i lived in bryce canyon for three months. i met the worst of the utah locals there at the park and in provo, st. george and a few other small towns in that area that i can't remember the name of. the geography of the region is killer, but there's a bunch of fucking weird ass people there.

actually there are some places I visited in Louisiana, Mississippi, and around Toledo, OH that objectively are much worse than Wilmington, MA. they were all more interesting though.

Waco, Sheffield erm... Portsmouth is pretty bad in the UK

Dundee is a city I'm not sure of...it is one of the grimmest places in the UK, but has a charm as well because it is such a shithole

I went to uni in portsmouth, its not so bad, although i do remember when i first drove down and i went past the really rough bit in the north :erm: that had some of the worst housing ever

down by the coast and up portsdown hill it is actually really lovely.

Interesting because I thought most of Honduras was pretty beautiful. Did the kids follow you around trying to sell you Chicle (gum?)? I was on a tour of some Mayan ruins and ended up giving my entire lunch to the local youngsters.

LOL i had this happen with the chicklets. I went to palenque, bonampak, tikal and copan. everywhere I went were little kids selling me candy, worry dolls, and other handmade things.

what ruins did you visit, btw.

were you in copan? Ive been there a couple times to visit the ruins and it is fucking beautiful over there, no doubt.


Yeah. We may have had a different view though because I bussed to the ruins from the coast (arrived by sea) as apposed to going through the airport. It and Belize both amazed me with their natural beauty.

brooks, alberta. the entire town smells like an asshole. and even if it didn't it'd be one of the worst. and one of my exes has settled down there now. :erm:
for an actual city, winnipeg. even if it wasn't uninhabitable it was really boring and really scummy.

You read my mind, most people havnt even heard of Brooks, I was stuck there for a night when I was 16. I was hiding in my hotel room praying I wasnt going to die, there were four tornados in the area and the power kept going out, the hotel I was staying in didnt have a shelter of any kind. It sucked. All of the stores in that town were selling clothes that had gone out a decade befor, There were tons of rattlesnakes, it was super hot and dusty. Total hill-billy town.

Also Surrey BC. Shit hole. Crack heads and immigrants.

Newark, New Jersey.

uh this town i live in

but rating a town is so vague. what aspect in particular is it that's supposed to be the worst

Where do you live, Alex? Somewhere in BW, right?

what's bw

edit: baden-württemberg? dude i am 100% commie blood

Eastern Germany? Okay then, sorry for that.

what are you apologising for

he lives in erfurt

i wish

Nogales, Mexico

Boston, MA.

Actually all of MA except the cape.

georgia. all of it.

Georgia is beautiful man

Boston, MA.

Actually all of MA except the cape.
Troll.
