Re: Spokane?
 
I remember feeling like I was trapped in a giant stip mall that never ends when I was in Spokane.

Lake Forest, Illinois.

This is full of the snobbiest people that I've ever met. The kids drive BMW's and Porches; it's like Laguna Beach except colder.

What's the specific beef with Seattle?

[/ QUOTE ]

I hate the downtown area, it feels so dirty/dark/dank/just generally not good. I just hate it for being a cut-rate Vancouver really. Everything about Seattle is sort of Vancouver-lite, and I hate that everyone says "oh it's just like Vancouver!" when it's really awful. Personal reasons as well, I hate all the people I've ever had to work with there, etc, etc.

Good point about Spokane, I haven't been there in a long time, I forgot what a real piece of [censored] it is.

in the bigger cities there are at least some decent parts to live in...

Cities like,
Camden, NJ
Homer, AK
Jackson, MS

are all horrible

The only time I've ever just been nervous because of my surroundings all the way through a stay was in Gary, Indiana. Ugly, ugly town.

Gary (irony...)

I really don't know how anybody could say DC with a straight face. As mentioned by a previous poster, it just has too much fine culture to rank anywhere in the bottom. I am not making any defense for its people, crime rate, or general cleanliness, but I do think that the museums and monuments make up for a lot.

DC sucks because...

1) It is the center of government coercion.
2) It is filled with scumbag politicians.
3) There is no culture in Southern MD/Northern VA except American (BASEBALL! HOT DOGS!) culture... which sucks.
4) Actually there is a ton of 'urban' culture ("wiggers" perhaps... I don't have a problem with this except they are trying too hard to convey an image... much like politicians).
5) Tons of crime and overall destitution.

there's nothing ironic about you saying that gary indiana is an ugly town, even though your name is gary.

This time of year... Corvallis, OR.

Well, it wasn't profound or anything, but there has to be some small irony in that of all the people who could tell you Gary is a hellhole, it was the one named Gary who thought to mention it.

Man...too many good ones

1. Peoria, IL
2. Gary, IN
3. Detroit, MI
4. East St. Louis, IL
5. Philadelphia, PA

(I'm obviously Midwest based)

[/ QUOTE ]

This place sucks, but it had the best strip club I've ever been to. It used to be called Diamond Cabaret, but I think it is Penthouse something or other now. My friend in St. Louis said it is still just as great.

Hoboken

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

That's EXACTLY why Hoboken sucks.

Hoboken sucks b/c it is in NJ.

Southern MD and NoVA is not a part of DC. Also, I'm not sure how you can be talking about the culture of the city when you live in Baltimore. Any monument in DC >>>>>>>>> The world's largest trash can.

The only reason you should ever visit Corvallis OR is if your going to party with kids from OSU or go cow tipping. Therefore this time is the best time to visit while school is still in session.

I've spent under a week at both of these places but Detroit and Philly are my top two.

To all of you hatin' on Philly,

YO! [censored] YOUS GUYS!

If you don't like our [censored] city, don't come back! Problem solved! (even if most of the reasons givin were spot on)

Cheesesteaks: Anybody that says there is a better cheesesteak than at Gino's, Pat's or Jim's on South St., you're talking out your ass, and you lose all credibility.

Couple things going for Philly:

Rita's water ice - If you guys only knew
Ben Franklin Pretzel Factory in Kensington - Just don't go there until the sun comes up
Flyers - enough said


And my least favorite American Cities:

1 - Canada (or is that a state?)
2 - Trenton, because I have to work there everyday, and because it's in NJ

Don't forget hoagies, butterscotch krimpets and fried pork roll and cheese sandwichs.
