Lawrence, MA. never again...3 months of pure hell and depression.

Sums it up nicely by saying a raccoon (I think) roadkill stank for about 2 weeks before anybody got rid of it. They probably didn't notice the smell since it was masked by the general odor of the town LOL.

Agree with all those who've mentioned Gary, IN - what a shithole. Also once got lost travelling back to Detroit airport and drove through the scariest place in the US. Also up there are in the shite category are Vidor, TX, Lafayette, AL and Central Milwaukee, WI.

Was in Las Vegas last year for the first time in years and what a ****ing dump that place has turned into.

New York City is a right shithole as far as I'm concerned. As someone who drives a Tour Bus for living, no one makes you feel welcome here. Everyone treats you like shit, whilst everything is overpriced.

East St Louis is Tops In the Mid-West, as far as I'm concerned. Looks like a left-over from a Nuclear War.

+1. It's a lock your car doors and hope you don't hit any red lights sort of place.

There's been a dead skunk in the middle of a road I drive to on the way to work for the last week. It's about 20 yards from a school bus stop. Nice way to start the day for the kids.

Terminate with extreme prejudice in this case. Reminds me of around here where animals, other than dogs and horses, are for either shootin' or eatin', and not necessarily in that order.
