Amarillo, TX. Every time I drive through I have to stop there for gas, and there is always construction of the 'airport parking garages sort' (that is, never ending) and I have a tough time getting back onto the freeway to get outta there. Once I stayed in a hotel near there and left my pillow behind. I paid to have it shipped back to me, even though "I Left My Pillow in Amarillo" would make a great country song. I couldn't bear to leave anything there.

Moscow, Ida... no, Russia. It was February and still the USSR so it's probably better now.

And you do want to get out of Dodge when the wind is blowing in from the feedlots.

Kiev, probably because of the stark contrast between the beauty it should have, and the ugliness it actually has. Wonderful people, and some good friends there, but the city itself is a disaster.

In that case, you're doing it wrong.

Regular division: Los Angeles. It's ugly, polluted, dirty, covered in crappy grafitti, and way too big.

New Jersey division: Jersey City

Washington, DC...the people were just such pricks. I had never been in such an environment before. Not even Chicago or NYC are that bad.

Seattle...I dunno. Seattleites always seemed cool and friendly to me...April and I must not have met them during our week there.

Surprisingly, these cities were much better than I expected:
--New York
--Los Angeles
--Vancouver

Oh...worst city in Jersey...Camden. Or Asbury Park, though I've heard that's getting better. Haven't been there since '04.

Paris, France - very overrated, dirty and smelly.
Fayetteville, NC - only driven through, but that's bad enough.

Baltimore is awesome because of its skeevyness.

Los Angeles is beautiful, but she makes you work for it. I defy you to stand in front of the Disney Recital Hall, or on the balcony at the Getty, or on the crest of the Angeles Mountains, or in the crashing surf of Zuma, and tell me this city is ugly. And even if all of that doesn't get you, you have to admit, we have all of the beautiful people.

But, if that's your perception of this town, by all means, stick to it. I'm all for people staying away, whatever the reason.
