I'd have to say Buffalo. Horrible winters, poverty, corruption, crooked cops, terrible city government, you name it. It's like the whole place was thrust into a permanent state of depression after Super Bowl XXV.

Yeah for some reason, I wouldn't picture that city being very happy after that Super Bowl, not to mention the Music City Miricle and the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals. I feel so bad for this city which is why I like it.

I don't have three, but I'll say Philly is by far my least favorite city, for reasons others have mentioned.

I live in Baltimore, and I love it here, but I see why a lot of people think it sucks.

Regarding Salt Lake. Well, I don't ski. But I do like to drink and stay out late. My friend just got back from there...said it was the most boring place on earth.

Talking smack about ABQ, huh? If you don’t know, you don’t know. Some highlights.

No hurricanes. No earthquakes. No blizzards. No floods. No heat waves. No humidity. An occasional forest fire in close proximity, but that's about it. 300-330 days of sun out of the year, and we have four seasons. Not too hot, not too cold. We have about 500,000 or so people here, and there’s only so much room to sprawl. Not too big, not too small.

Mountains in my backyard. Most people are friendly.

Best New Mexican and Mexican food you’ll ever eat in the states. Real green and red chile. Best margaritas, too. Lots of good restaurants with all cuisines.

Only city in America with a baseball team whose name came from a Simpsons episode.

Home of the Pit. Home of the Balloon Fiesta.

There are four casinos with poker rooms that I can get to in less than half an hour, and three have amphitheatres. Journal Pavilion also brings in good shows, if you don’t mind waiting two hours to leave the parking lot.

Streets are easy to figure out. Airport is very easy to use. Cost of living is cheap.

Downtown is being revitalized and cleaned up. There are plans for a light rail system in the near future. Real estate is going crazy. Lots of new commercial development going on.

A day’s drive from Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver, Dallas, Mexico, and yes, Salt Lake City.

So what if we’ve got a lot of drunk drivers, a piddly river, and no pro sports? Just because our mayor banned the TV show COPS from ever filming here again doesn’t mean we’re all bad. I wear it like a badge of honor.

And we did find the Runaway Bride. That was fun.

I've been to a lot of cities, and I'd rather live here than in most of them. Most of my friends that move here agree. So if you're in town, look me up. We'll go to Sadie's or Los Cuates and get some 'ritas and enchiladas. Nothing like it.

Yet more points for Philly.

- dirty, overpriced, yet bankrupt public transportation
- stench in the streets
- 5% wage tax
- corrupt government
- an illiterate mayor
- grossly over-powerful unions
- lazy-ass entitlement work ethic of the people (see previous point)
- the Chinese food in its China town sucks
- inarguably the most obnoxious sports fans in the country (the battery incident was my favorite)

They have one of the best business schools in the country, but 95% of Wharton graduates leave Philly immediately upon graduation. They spend craploads of tax dollars trying to figure out why.

The cheesesteaks are just as good in the suburbs.

That being said, Go Eagles!


Oh, and L.A. blows horse dong as well. Probably the only city I hate more than Philly.

If you think cheesesteaks in the suburbs are just as good, you are [censored] crazy. CRAZY. That said, Philly bores me to no end.
