Worst city you've been to...? - Page 4

I really don't like Wellington in NZ. True to it's catch phrase, it is windy, and rainy nearly every day (or so it seems). I'd hate to live there, and I'll never go there to visit again if I can help it.

As a transplant to DC, I love it. I don't think people here are pricks. I love having family here and showing them around. However, traffic is a pain to say the least. Metro = good. Particularly for sight seeing. And there's so much to do and see, whether you're a history buff or love art or want to see a play... Just remember as soon as you give in and buy a cheap t-shirt from a street vendor you'll find a cooler one for cheaper 2 vendors away. lol There are also so many great choices for dining.

Seattle... I thought the people there were quite snobby. Although the people outside the city seemed friendly and helpful. And the airport is one of the worst. I can only think of one I disliked more - Miami.

I agree it's all down to personal perception. Any place can seem grim in the wrong circumstances. That said, I don't think I even have a worst city. I dislike some of the suburbs of London, but that's about it.

My friends live in Stanley Village, not the same as Stanley, but close by.

Paterson, NJ
Newark, NJ
Lynn, MA
Passaic, NJ
Camden, NJ
Union, NJ

But Lynn, MA is the only one with a warning poem:

"Lynn, Lynn, city of sin. You never come out the way you came in."
And it's true. Went there once and got mugged.

Don't nobody say shit about the Chi.

This thread is municipally just meant to cook people up.

But if i were to participate, I'd say Nashville. Good music, crappy locale.

Nashville, TN. Country music and whiskey. That's all there is. Welcome to Nashville.

yeah but some of them are absolutely ace,
I lived in a suburby part of High Barnet for 17 years... I always felt it was quiet enough to feel peaceful but connected enough to feel... well, connected. Although in saying that I was recently informed High Barnet has a higher crime rate than Hackney. (doesnt suprise me... Hackney is on the rise)

Its not a city but I have a bone to pick with Enfield in London,
what a dive. What a total dive.

Sydney.

Buahahahahahaha!

Cloud · 03-03-2008, 10:26 AM

we've had our run of worst cities. Now let's hear it for the superlative urban centers!

Wait . . . have I ever been to a "best" city? Are large cities inherently bad? Noisy, crowded, crime ridden . . . What's the criteria here, anyway?

Here's my pick: San Francisco: for its beauty and diversity

Cloud · 03-03-2008, 10:28 AM

oops that was supposed to be a new thread. Oh well.

I haven't been to a lot of places, but I fell in love with San Diego the second the plane landed.

lookout123 · 03-04-2008, 12:36 PM

Shawnee123 · 03-04-2008, 12:48 PM

Um, in San Diego?
