The worst city I've been to is Harvey Illinois. It looked bad when I was there and the crime stats back that up. Parts of Cleveland are really grimey too, and East Cleveland is right up there with Harvey Illinois for the worst I've seen. From being on the highway theres definetly some bad parts in Gary Indiana,Kansas City, and St. Louis.Parts of Hammond Indiana look bad.Obviouslly there is some bad looking parts of Chicago too, but the bad parts of Chicago have buisnesses and people actually walking around. Parts of Cleveland can feel like ghost towns at times. No people around and tons of abandoned buildings, and on top of that the sky is nothing but grey. I've heard theres areas in Chicago that can be like that but I didn't see any. When I went to Chicago I was basically by the lake the whole time on Lakeshore Drive.

Tough call, but I'll have to go with Plainfield, NJ.

I've been to Camden, NJ and never had any problem with it. But then again, I stayed in downtown so I can't say anything for the rest of the city.

Maybe it's b/c I lived there for a month instead of just visiting/passing through, but I pick Atlanta. I can think of no reason to ever set foot in that city again.

Nope. He'll never stop whining. It's unbelievable, and the fact that he spews this garbage all over the PA forum makes it all the more intolerable...

It is a close tie for me.... Detroit was absolutely horrid and, sadly, Washington DC, our capital, was not much better at all ... and neighboring Baltimore was pretty bad as well.

I love Washington and Baltimore. Those cities have really cool neighborhoods with awesome rowhouses.
