LOL. I know, I can't understand why so many parts of Pittsburgh are like that. I was under the impression it was this renovated area that had great new suburbs. It's renovated (a few new things scattered about) and it has what they consider suburbs (except if you have children you can't let them visit each others houses because there are NO sidewalks, and the houses - however grand they are, are on at least one acre lots which makes it hard to let the little ones wander.) Just my opinion!
I like seeing the Scranton pics. I've now seen every house in town, so they've saved me a trip (and a tank of gasoline). We'll call it "green tourism."
LOL! You may be onto something!!! I was wondering how I was going to afford my vacation to the Pacific Northwest this year...I may just find someone like Scran-man from Seattle and have them send pictures.
It's a loaded question actually--- which is the "ugliest" city. Some people consider a place ugly because of the physical unattractiveness of the buildings, some because of the general mindset of the people, some because of the lack of scenery, some because the area is new and "fake", some because the area is old and run-down...
My list includes:
Waco, Texas (don't like the town, the people, OR the scenery)
Corpus Christi, Texas
Bakersfield, California
Pueblo, Colorado
Shreveport, Louisiana
Houston is such a large city, it's hard for me to say that ALL of it's ugly as there are some very pretty parts with large trees and sprawling lawns...however, the Southeast quadrant with the oil refineries and the port really takes the cake - definitely ugly.

There are quite a few Seattle photos on this site. I enjoy looking at them.

This is like saying New York's such a large city...but yeah, that industrial district over there in Brooklyn "takes the cake" on ugliness. Every heavily sustainable city has these areas. I've seen areas of Philadelphia and New York that make Pasadena and the industrial district of SE Houston look like oases.
If you're going to make such sweeping statements on predisposed and largely incorrect notions and pass them off as a valid, educated opinion, at least admit in doing so.
