Quite surprised with that, would have thought there would be a bigger mix, and perhaps Detroit being higher with perhaps a few more mill towns like Buffalo.

I'm surprised Chicago is # 7 and Cleveland # 10. I thought Cleveland would be more miserable than Chicago. They both have horrible winters, but I think unemployment is higher here.

No surprise that the Central Valley is so well represented. It really is an armpit.

Re: America's 20 Most Miserable Cities
I see Modesto ranked No 4 and as I stated in another thread Stockon was my worst choice in the US next to Bloomington Illinois....what I do find strange is because of my work I travel all over the US and as much as I think most of Modesto is a dump,its the Ritz next to some cities/towns that I visit luckily I live in the very far suburbs on the good side of town so I guess I don't get to see the violent areas much like Ceres and the connecting hovels!
I do know that I would rather be in Modesto then Stockton,Fresno,Bakersfield thats a dead cert.

Re: America's 20 Most Miserable Cities
I ended up in the #1 city this afternoon Ds needed work pants. Now I know it's number 1 I somehow could see all the complaints better, it's never been that great IMO but holy cow it's an armpit Giantaxe is so right. Ds and I were joking about it while we shopped, If I never go there again I'll be happy, I must be more picky about my shopping areas

Thats where we went, Ds was practically hyperventilating in there he hates it when it's so busy. Poor guy. Then he was complaining cause he couldn't understand anyone speaking I told him he should have done Spanish in school not French They were out of his size in the Dickies work pants so that made his day
