And now the worst N. American Cities you've been too

[chucker]

Good responses to the best North American cities. I was just curious to get opinions from a large, diverse sample group. Now for the worst cities. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone here with this list. I've never been there, but apparently Camden, NJ will be near the top of this list, lol.
I picked ones that aren't the obvious choices like south-central, LA, south-side Chicago, etc. Here's mine:

Flint, MI: Getting worse by the day. Detroit can't come close to being this bad, because there are some decent areas there. Saginaw, MI is about as bad, but it's not as big, so Flint gets the nod.

Gary, IN: Seen many run down downtowns in my day, but this one takes the cake.

Rockford, IL: Reminded me of Saginaw so much, I thought for a minute that I was home again, lol.

Baton Rouge isn't that bad - I lived there while going to LSU.

Nashville Bozzie? --- Nashville is cool.
Honkey Tonk bars, and hot girls at the nudie bars - they let you suck their nipples.

most of arkansas does suck...have you been to nw arkansas? that area would be the best that arkansas has to offer...pretty decent area imo

this kinda reminds me of the situation whenever i am new somewhere and people ask me where i am from: when i tell them, they feel sorry for me... like i had a bad childhood and a hard life... lol... no city that has people living in can be as bad as it's reputation.

not true dude...people are creatures of habit and comfortability and are leary to change even if that change is one for the better....i know many people from many places that they say the place they live sux ass...but do they leave? no...moreorless to the reasons i stated above...in some cases people think they cant leave the area...like the ghettos...which is all in their head...because it doesn't cost much to pick up and move to an area that is way better...people tend to shit their bed and continue to lay in it
