Worst looking Ohio city (Columbus, Cleveland: landscaping, movie theater, university)

For me, it's Toledo. Anytime I drive to Detroit, I pass Toledo and usually end up hurling all over the inside of my windshield.

That is interesting. It must have changed fairly recently. Last I knew, the school district was still "Columbiana Exempted Village Schools". Now that's a mouthful!

No, Chagrin Falls is a good suburban town. Stow is hot suburban mess. This isn't "Most Ghetto City" or "Worst City to Live". This is "Worst Looking City". And there's no doubt in my mind that the worst looking places in Ohio are usually condo complexes that seem to monotonously stretch for miles up against the backside of a freeway sound barrier, usually about 15 miles outside of the downtown of a large city (especially along I-270 in Columbus). History will not be kind to places like that.

I should probably rescind Columbiana. I have only ever been to one run-down neighborhood near the railroad tracks (never even made it "downtown"), so I shouldn't say. And if it does have a quaint, old downtown, I can't imagine it being near as ugly as the treeless, sprawling pavement, one-story building landscapes of most suburban cities.

btw, springfield is a rough looking town.

Logan, Alliance, Lima, Lorain, Chillicothe, East Cleveland, hmm

I'd say mainly the south to south eastern cities are the ugliest. The big cities in Ohio have HORRIBLE looking areas, but also parts that outshine the cities above by 1000x. Like you will never get W. 6th or Bratenahl or other new downtown developments in Stuebenville or Miegs County... it just doesn't compare.
