I remember a bbq joint (Slicks?) that was out of the world great. That bbq joint would be reason alone to keep Muskogee off the worst places listing.

The worst place where you have lived?
- Thread starter alaskaguy
- Start date
412 Hayward Ave. Ames Iowa. that place was a *********. great times had by all, but an absolute ********. we let a homeless man sleep on our porch, kept a years worth of garbage in the garage, and had a resident groundsquirrel that would eat french fries off the floor.

Ottumwa, Ia. Nuff said I win. The place is a hole and smells like feet. My parents still live there so I have to suck it up and go visit every so often.
If by "signs of life" you mean "5th wheelers permenatly parked 50 yards off of the interstate" and a "Border check point" then yes
Otherwise no

Oh wait you said signs of civilization... well I *SUPPOSE* there were the power lines and the railroad track following parallel to I-40, otherwise no. None what-so-ever
That was my buddy Joe. He would frequently try to walk back to Sterling Apartments from Campustown, and sleep on various porches/driveways along Hayward.

1) Marshalltown, Iowa
2) Pocatello, Idaho (Worked a contract job there for awhile)
3) Torrance, CA (Same contract 1 mo. there)
4) Basalt, CO (Cheaper than living IN Aspen)
5) Aspen, CO (I don't ski or do do drugs)
I currently work in Denver but live in the 'burbs. Denver, proper, is a nice place to visit..wouldn't want to live there though.

I really only have Des Moines as a comparison, so take it FWIW. With the exception of the Old Market and the Zoo, Des Moines is better than Omaha in almost every way imaginable.
is your buddy joe a 50-something old man that traps rabbits to sell to golden wok for meat?
Negative.
Regardless, the odds that he slept on your porch, or at least peed somewhere on your property are high, assuming you lived there between 2005 and 2008.
I agree, Helser was terrible. I lived there from January 04 - March 04. We moved out as soon as we found an opening in MWL.

Helser was awesome from 1998-2001 when I lived there. I lived in same exact room for three years. Terrible male/female ratio though. Def big time sausage fest.
this thread is great.
we all complain about recruiting...and yet 50-75% of the answers to "worst place you have ever lived" is either 1) someplace in Iowa or 2) on campus! and we wonder why so many kids don't want to come here....haha.
