Well from personal experience (visiting) Mobile, AL.

I can't argue with this.

Monroe / West Monroe, LA

Agreed. I traveled there on business monthly for several years, its like driving through Beirut in the mid 1980's . Nasty, nasty place.
Colorado Springs, CO (To live)
Flint, MI (Until the water is better than Mexico's)
Panama City Beach, FL (To Live, and best visiting periods are based roughly on your age...)
Columbus, OH (Both)
Gary, Indiana (Both)
Tuscaloosa, AL (Both)
Portland and the Eug. Both have awful weather, terrible traffic, and insane liberals. Full of millennials who are too obsessed with their perceived hipster persona to actually power a viable economy. And don't get me started on foolish urban growth boundaries.
Gary, Indiana. /thread.

agreed as well, Camden is horrible.
I have to imagine East St. Louis is worse than Camden. The difference being no one here has actually been to E St. Louis.

I second this
Fort Wayne, Indiana. Flat. Boring. No good restaurants. Nothing to do. Lots of bible thumpers and tea partiers. Too long a drive to make it to Chicago on a day trip. Surrounded by boring farmland. The mall is the center of social life for the city. Winter is brutal. Summer can be stifling and no one has AC.
Tacoma, WA. This city should be amazing. It is just at the foot of Mt. Ranier. At the bottom of the sound and has a great park with trails for running. But it is sooooo depressing and dirty. The city can never get any momentum because people will just drive to Seattle if they want to have a nice meal or go see a show. Everything in Tacoma is Seattle's sloppy seconds.
It is easy to pick on cities that got a raw deal in the post-industrial revolution era (Camden, Youngstown, Newark, Gary, Flint, Scranton/Wilkes Barre, etc.) but it really isn't their fault that industry built them up and then walked out in a split second.
Oxford Miss. Their is a reason Ole Mi$$ has to pay for recruits.

Please educate me on what is so bad about Colorado Springs. I don't have an opinion here, so I'm not going to argue. I've just never heard that about that city -- quite the opposite usually.
I've been to East St. Louis twice. Both times were on accident when the driver of the car I was in got lost. It was a sad, sad place. It's blighted more than anything. That said, I wouldn't feel very safe walking around there.
I actually think Elizabeth and Paterson, NJ might be as bad as Camden, but it's pretty easy to avoid going through those.
