I'm beginning to get sick of Newcastle. I've not been outside the city in 2.5+ months. I'm used to quite a bit more mobility than this.

Luckily, the girlfriend and I are taking a trip at Christmas. We're going to Prague (hostel), then have Christmas in Vienna (double bed in a hotel), and New Years in Brussels (queen bed in a hotel!). Hopefully that will cure what ails me.

New Jersey:
If Camden, NJ can still be considered a city....well it takes the cake. Camden is the armpit of the world.

Trenton def. has its hot spots!!

Texas:
I lived in Houston,TX (Spring Branch County) for 2 years. That was about 15 years ago. And even as a youngster, I can tell that Houston can be bad. But it is such a large city that could easily be broken up into smaller cities. Some areas are beautiful (gallarea area)(sp). BUt where I was at was, at the time, well below poverty.

Tucson. if new jersey is the armpit of america then Tucson is the taint. there is like one square block that is pretty'd up so they can advertise what a nice place it is. the rest of it is overrun by litter, dingy, dirty, gross. in half the city they don't even bother putting the signs in English at all. it is so messed up that i think the mayor is even here illegally. well maybe not... but i wouldn't be surprised.

Dayton.

But, I haven't much to too many places and most of them have been by choice so it was somewhere I wanted to see for a reason.

I lived in Tuscon as a kid, and had very fond memories of it. I went back almost 10 years ago and was really disappointed. There were a few nice places to visit, but mostly it was a rundown place. Roll up the windows and lock the doors.

harharhar. oh wait, yeah we do have quite a few of those. but ours are clean (er) and the signs are in english (quite often) and we don't have all the illegals (except on bell road, constructions sites, home depot's, landscaping companies...). ok, scratch that last one.

The saying is true...You should just leave if you ever mistakenly find yourself there.
