Oh, ooops, good point :-)

This article is garbage. I lived in Miami for 11 years and it was like paradise...heaven on earth. Absolutely beautiful and one of the funnest places I've ever been.

Barstow exists for only one reason: To stop for gas on the way to Vegas (from L.A.)

True -- and for heavens sake never eat there! I've had food poisoning twice in my life, both times from Barstow "restaurant" meals. Pack a lunch.

New York City f**kin' rocks. Best designed city on the planet, I'd get close to saying. LOVED living there for a couple months. Again, Crappy state.

I have relatives in NY City and have been there several times. I've never seen such a trashy, dirty run down depressing place in my life.

Sure there are some nice areas and some really cool happening hot spots...but the majority of the city is disgusting and ugly.

About the only consolation to all this is that Seattle still has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation.

I see absolutely nothing witty about this little comment. Are we supposed to do the Northwest a favor and toss ourselves into Elliot Bay when our latte's aren't quite hot enough?

Gary is a town? I thought it was a string of steel mills surrounded by company housing.

Bayonne, OTOH...

What about Bayonne?

The beauty of Iowa is that it never changes, still as boring as ever. Seriously though, CR is a little better than it used to be with many of the U of I grads going there now after school for jobs. When you were there it was at it's low point and a nearly dead blue collar factory town. It has since reinvented itself. Now Des Moines, THAT is a gawd awful boring town.

You talking to me?

Yep.

BTW, the above is the exact and complete total of the freepmail I sent you, because I was trying to avoid taking this thread further down that tangent you started. Not because I couldn't say it on the forum.

We like to look through our binoculars into the owner's box and spy on 'em for a few minutes.

Was she wearing those football black eye underlines?

[Lancey Howard]

Should have been a "Hundred Worst" list, with all of them tied.

[MetalHeadConservative35]

Where's Detroit?

Detroit? how about river rouge..that city is literally falling apart

[MetalHeadConservative35]

And Flint- and just about any other city I can think of in Michigan. Man, do I hate that place!

not true..westland/wayne area's bloomin up nice same with canton other than that youre right

[dano1]

Was you ever in Cincinnati?

[lennydetroit]

Detroit Rocks, son.

We were the "Arsenal of Democracy" back in the Big W-2. (Of course there was that unfortunate race riot in '43, and that other one in '68, but hey, you can't please everybody.)

Many of our streets are safe to walk along. (Take that, E. St. Louis.)

We pioneered the auto industry (along with that quaint tradition of overturning cars and torching them on the rare occasions our sports teams win a national championship.)

We invented carjacking.

We have beautiful oases on the Detroit River, such as Belle Isle and Zug Island.

Our potholes are second to none, and a majority of our street and traffic lights actually work.

We have a lot of open spaces where those pesky abandoned houses were burned down on Devil's Nights past.

I could go on and on, but you get the point--Deetroit Rocks big time!

Now, as for River Rouge, and add Ecorse and Highland Park to the mix, I thoroughly agree with your assessment.

Tip never get lost in ecourse at 1am...your chances of making it home alive are 50/50 if that..

See # 13 and 19 I did not start it sir.

[Safetgiver]

It is titled "...American Cities...." so that leaves Philly out.
