What is the worst city that you've ever visited?

a priori

8/14/19 8:02pm

Baltimore

8/14/19 8:03pm

Winnipeg

Baron

Gary, Indiana

Future_Tacos

8/14/19 8:04pm

Gary is the roughest town I've ever seen.

WDaddy

8/14/19 8:42pm

Why has everyone been to Gary? What’s there?

LifelongAP

8/14/19 10:25pm

Interstate freeway. Nobody in their right mind stops there.

TheLoanArranger

8/14/19 10:28pm

It's just south of Chicago.

No doubt a dump but you have honestly never been to worse?

Then you’ve never been to Gallup, NM

Zaphod

Oakland

Definitely up there. Seen some scary stuff...

Mathew

Bakersfield

HighHorse

8/14/19 8:05pm

I didn't visit it, just drove through. That was bad enough.

HighHorse

8/14/19 8:06pm

Barstow has to be up there too

TNT

8/14/19 8:06pm

Bakersfield is significantly better than Barstow

LiveCoug

8/14/19 8:07pm

Good Mcdonalds pit stop on the way up to the Sierras.

Dr MoBYU

I occasionally work in Barstow

tjngirlz

Meth-Town, couldn't get out of that city fast enough

Jericho

I lived in Bakersfield. Went to HS there. I liked it. And I still have family and friends there. Driving thru isn't

ChinaFan

8/14/19 8:21pm

OK, so what is there in Bakersfield to visit? Other than family?

HighHorse

8/14/19 8:25pm

Nothing really worth visiting, but it's a fine enough town to live in

LiveCoug

8/14/19 8:29pm

Cal State Bakersfield campus? (WAC member)

MichCoug

8/14/19 8:36pm

That's not worth visiting. There's a decent number of good local places to eat.

molodyets

8/14/19 9:14pm

Agree. A lot of oil money in that town.

Eggguy

8/14/19 8:30pm

I think you are confusing Bakersfield with Baker

ovalY

8/14/19 9:10pm

Baker's a fine place. Worlds Tallest Thermometer.

Memphis

Zedhead

8/14/19 8:06pm

Love Memphis but it is very scary.

dadofkhec

8/14/19 8:07pm

Stay downtown it’s ok. Lots of shooting deaths.

dadofkhec

8/14/19 8:11pm

How so? Never been but may go there

BlueSioux

8/14/19 8:08pm

As long as you don't stray off the major streets you will be fine.

Zedhead

8/14/19 8:12pm

Yikes

BlueSioux

That exact thing happened to me there. Scary place.

stoils

Gary, IN or Oakland

My wife and I once made this mistake of driving through Washington DC. Bad

dadofkhec

8/14/19 8:06pm

New Orleans or Balitimore.

BYUtka

8/14/19 8:08pm

NOLA is a top city in the country.

Baron

8/14/19 8:23pm

One of those is not like the other

Lip Gallagher

8/14/19 8:24pm

Yeah, I almost didn't put Baltimore on there, but it was almost as bad as NO.

New Orleans is seriously one of the most awesome cities in the US.

LiveCoug

8/14/19 8:36pm

Of course it's dirty. That doesn't make it the "worst." You can't seriously

Lip Gallagher

8/14/19 8:46pm

I'm not the only one who thinks so.

BYUtka

8/14/19 8:58pm

True. Several of you are missing the mark

cajuncoug

Or not letting pride/nostalgia cloud our judgement.

BYUtka

Downtown was surprisingly bad

Backcountry

Disagree. Just visited. Many listed are worse!

MichCoug

No doubt many are worse, but Spokane was sneaky bad in expectation vs. reality.
