What's your least favorite city in America?

[vulturesrow]

The only that really comes to mind for me is St Louis. I dont have any specific reason, I just always feel like the life is being sucked out of me when I am there.

Newark, New Jersey is up there.

You do realize that it wasn't JFwhatever that was disagreeing about NYC women, right?

This is correct. Imagine taking the worst parts of big cities and combining them and you get east St. Louis. The exact opposite of St. Louis, Mo.

Philadelphia. And it doesn't appear close. It appears that my initial summary of Philly is pretty close, and the only people willing to defend the city is its residents.

I didn't expect this many responses, but I've waded through every single one, and without the use of a poll, Philadelphia appears to be, by far, OOT's least favorite city.

I found it interesting to see a few people list DC and NY. There are some rather dispicable qualities of both cities, but to call them the WORST city in America might be a bit excessive with all the options each city offers that don't involve driveby's and used drug needles.

There is no way in hell that there is a 3-to-1 girl-to-guy ratio in NYC. I'd bet my life on it.

And sure there are some super-fine supermodels and stuff there, but to the average guy (not unlike myself), these girls are unattainable.

There are a lot of gorgeous "average" midwester and southern girls, whom aren't even necessarily aware that they are gorgeous. These girls are attainable for guys like me, and Costanza, etc.

On any given night the entire Victoria's Secret model-corps could be in NYC, along with Beyonce, Britney, etc. How does this help ?

No way man. Don't talk about my hometown li'dat.

[vulturesrow]

Im willing to have my mind changed by hanging out with someone that knows the town better than I do. But the couple times I have been there, I havent been impressed to say the least.

Schaumberg...LOL. I thought people in the North Burbs made fun of Waukegan.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Woodfield.

In the West burbs, we make fun of Aurora due to its lovely East side.

South Suburbs have too much crap to mention it all. Ford Heights Police Department says it all.

I'm still going with Peoria, Gary, and E St. Louis though.

The one positive is Big Al's in Peoria...it's nice.

This reminds me of the Quad Cities. Moline, Rock Island...and a couple others? Davenport? I believe this is where "Roseanne" is set. My dad used to take me up there when he was on business when I was a little kid and the coolest thing was the Holiday Inn pool with the big polar bear.
