    Worst towns in Iowa

    Many towns in Iowa have been passed by mother time and left by the wayside. These towns may be depressing, run-down, desolate, or flat out boring.r.. maybe all four. Which town do you think is THE worst town in Iowa?

    Anyone who says something other than Iowa City deserves a nut punch.

    Well maybe Ottumwa wasn't the worst town this year. They might have done something to improve or maybe another city did something worse to move up.

    Cedar Rapids. everything along HWY 30 East of CR. Every town along the mississippi. there's a lot of trashy crapiness going on over there.

    to be honest, I think the Iowa City area (IC, coralville, North liberty) is one of the few okay places to live in eastern Iowa. besides all the haweye people of course.
