1st "third world" city?
I agree. Especially since it was me that coined that phrase.

Niagra has the falls and The Bronx has style, so I wouldnt put them on the list.
There are many crappy "small" cities like those you mention, but Detroit wins the gold because it is a metropolis.
I would say Kansas City and St. Louis are a couple of the worse "third tier" cities. |

The "Bronx" ain't a city. It's part of New York City, not it's own city. |

The Bronx isn't that bad; don't believe all that you read on the internet. |
