Default Bottom 10 and Top 10

Lets do top 10 and bottom 10 to get more responses;

Top
1.) Kenilworth
2.) Long Grove
3.) Glencoe
4.) Lake Forest
5.) Lake Bluff
6.) Hinsdale
7.) Highland Park
8.) Barrington
9.) River Forest
10.) Burr Ridge

Bottom
1.) Harvey
2.) Maywood
3.) Calumet City
4.) Bellwood
5.) Ford Heights
6.) Robbins
7.) Lansing
8.) Joliet
9.) Chicago Heights
10.) Cicero

I have chosen to keep cities that as a whole are bad, not just in certain areas.

Skye,

Lansing is not the worst, but it is certainly not the best either.

Are you serious? Where's Cicero on this list- I mean the western part of Evanston is worse than eastern Oak Park anyday

I can think of at least a dozen other suburbs that are way worse than Lansing. He just adds that for spite.

Yeah, that's one word for it. "Ridiculous" is what I call it. In what world do Oak Park, Lansing, Lockport, and Berwyn make a "worst list" and suburbs like Chicago Heights, Maywood, and Riverdale don't? That's why I think these lists are useless.
