The Absolutely Worst Places to Live in America by Dave Gilmartin
The Absolutely Worst Places to Live in America surveyed thousands of Americans to find the fifty dirtiest, smelliest, most miserable cesspools, armpits, and tourist traps that make up this great land of ours. The "winners" of this awful distinction include the likes of: · Atlantic City, New Jersey—Come for the slots. Stay for the gang warfare and fourth-rate prostitutes. · Gary, Indiana—Like a sewer populated by 100,000 people. · Carson City, Nevada—Perfect for folks burned out on the high culture of Reno. · Fairbanks, Alaska—Take the most horrible place you've ever been, then subtract the sun. · Jacksonville, Florida—Possibly the foulest-smelling city in the Western hemisphere. · Camden, New Jersey—Once the proud home of America's first mass murderer, it's been all downhill since then. Perfect for your friends unfortunate enough to live in Baltimore or Houston, The Absolutely Worst Places to Live in America is an uproarious look at the dregs of our otherwise wonderful country. ((((IS THIS TRUE??))) -------------------- *******************************************************

I can vouch for AC and Camden. They're both really really bad.
I'd think Camden is worse, between the two of 'em. I'm surprised about Jax, I heard it was nice? -------------------- Dr. House: People don't get what they deserve. They get what they get.

Jacksonville? Really? I was there a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it, although perhaps I was just in a particularly nice area. Then again, I doubt they would have a conference in a crappy hotel in a crappy part of town anyways. The place we were at was great and the area near the beach we drove to was nice as well so I'm not sure where the smelly parts were!

Most large cities have places you'd rather not be (i.e. DC, Baltimore, etc). OVerall though, some of these cities aren't that bad when compared to other cities that suck at life.

It's a city not a person.. No, it's not a person but like a person you need to visit at least once. I'm sure any opinion formed will be from watching Boys in the Hood and 8 Mile, as opposed to any real life experience -------------------- |
