Naples, Italy.

Covered in trash, filled with crime. The hotel I stayed at was at the foot of a large hill that overlooked the downtown. Our work location was on the other side of the hill, so each day we would walk over the hill and back. At least that was the plan until we did it the first day.

The road going over the hill turned out to be one where every night, the whores would line the street, and cars would pull up, the whores get in, do their thing, and then the cars drive off. So each morning, the entire street/sidewalk was covered with hundreds of used condoms.

After making the trip the first day, we decided it wasn't worth risking our life should we happen to slip and fall on the hill, getting exposed to who knows what in the residue.

No doubt a real ****hole.

Kenya: Nairobi is sketchy beyond belief. However, Mombasa is also disgusting and you will frequently feel like you are one wrong turn from getting your throat slit.

UK: Blackpool. Undoubtedly it would've been a tacky cesspit during its 50's heyday, now it looks exactly like a cesspit which has suffered from 60 years of slow decomposition.

Cuba: While I absolutely love the city, large swathes of Havana- particularly 'old' Havana are filthy beyond belief and you can barely see the pavement for the mangy stray dogs lounging everywhere. Many of the buildings looks days from collapse.

Haiti: Port au Prince- probably the worst place on Earth other than Mogadishu.

Vegas. Shallow, myopic shrine to consumerism that treats shiny things as a proxy for class and sophistication, paid for with cash pick-pocketed from desperate losers.

Vegas is my home and i love it. It's more than the Strip, you know?

I'm sure your sentiments could equally apply to every location listed in this thread depending on the person.

Overbroad. Most of western and northern Michigan is anything but a ****hole. Southern Indiana is pretty nice and Indianapolis is not bad at all. Ohio is pretty terrible though.

Gary, IN and East Chicago deserve all the hate they get.
South Bend, IN is pretty terrible too other than ND campus.
Benton Harbor, MI
Flint, MI
Saginaw, MI

Patterson , NJ is a good one. BKK's a dump too.
What about Newark and Philly?

North Charleston, SC is bad.

Gotta add Holyoke then too. My best friend growing up lived in one of the somewhat nicer neighborhoods there, and it was still horrible. Looking back I cannot even fathom that my parents ever let me go over to his house.

True, but some of the cities are ****holes. I agree with the person who mentioned Christchurch and Invercargill. You could easily add Palmerston North and South Auckland into the ****hole category.

As for some others, Mackay and Bundaberg in Australia come to mind. Newquay in England. Many parts of Southern Spain (the parts the British head to).

Might as well chuck in Lawrence, MA.

Where do you stay? Imperial Palace?

Nowhere that includes the Bellagio can be called a ****hole. And despite you calling it "consumerism", some people travel to Vegas because it's full of great shows, full of great food, and full of fun things to do.

Seeking out those things is no different to what people did in villages and tribes thousands of years ago, before "consumerism" or being a pompous highbrow prick was invented.

Why does a more convenient medium of exchange inherently change the act of people getting together to entertain others? The performers love what they do and so do the crowds, who gives a **** if money is exchanged instead of bone implements and ****ty tasting preserved food?

I see Paterson NJ listed a lot here . I have been there many many times , and have lived nearby recently, and it is not a ****hole. Its not the nj suburban oasis you are all used to , but its diversity (yes, minority). its different types of foods (turkish, Peruvian, middle eastern) alone make it worthwhile to go over there.. its strip clubs are shady, but fun. its 40 minutes away from nyc , it's not a ****hole of the world.

Someone said Hull, UK already, I agree 100%

Would also like to add.

Wellingborough, England

Belfast, NI

Brugge, Belgium, Spent 1 day there, on a mini-cruise xmas present lol, and hated every second, there is absolutely NOTHING to do there, can't even get smashed b/c all the places to get a drink are stupid little restuarants with overpriced beer, that towns kids must be soooooo bored.

Kabul, Afghanistan, 6 months there with the army, my mate fell in an open sewer and landed on 2 broken needles, nuff said lol
01-25-2012 , 03:47 PM
Akron, OH
Youngstown, OH
Toledo, OH
Canton, OH
Any place south of Columbus and East of Cincinnati, OH

Pretty much any town in CA that isn't near a coast or a mountain - Chico, Bakersfield, Modesto, Tracy, Fresno, Stockton, Visalia, Redding, Needles, Imperial Valley, Davis. Also the ****ty suburbs like Vallejo, Escondido, San Bernadino, etc. Endless amounts of those.
01-26-2012 , 11:05 AM
it is good for travellers than Liege has removed from map.
01-26-2012 , 07:54 PM
Anywhere in the interior of BC during the winter. This includes Kelowna, Kamloops and Penticton. During the summer they may be barely worthwhile going to but only because of the random parties and lake activities to participate in like houseboating.

Alberta is a ****hole. Sorry Edmonton and Calgary but not even your cheaper booze can make me hang out there. Also, if Winnipeg, Manitoba were toilet paper I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
