The worst place where you have lived?

- Start date
And you're just a young guy.
We like LU, too. Never the same crowd there twice in a row. We've gotten free birthday cupcakes, shots and interesting conversations there.
I think one's attitude toward places is dependent at least in part by whether one was forced or chose to be there.
I like some parts of of Southern Iowa, but those counties and towns are run down.You don't like Southeastern Iowa, do you?
I'll take a wild stab and say that it is a biased response since there is a good likely hood that such posters have spent a good portion / all of their life living in Iowa, so all they have to list are places in Iowa

Holyoke, CO. The milk was out of date before they put it out for sale.
Iowa City. Besides the murder next door, the asians that caught and ate the neighborhood cats and the ridiculous traffic issues I found the locales to be obtuse, to be polite.
I didn't live there but had occasion to visit there fairly regularly for about 6 months. Danville, IL
Very economically depressed since GM plant shut down. That was actually a long time ago but still very depressed.

Neither one of them is all that great, but Dubuque is ahead of Ames by a long shot.
Don't you reckon that is because there is a great correlation between living in Iowa (especially on ISU campus) and being a Cyclone fan?
Jasper, County. Holy god is there nothing to do there. Want to see a new movie? Drive to Des Moines. Want to eat somewhere that isn't fast food? Drive to Des Moines. You can only make that 20-30 mile drive to Des Moines to do something without having to just live there. Nearly every house is run down, or dilapidated in some way. It just feels depressing to ******* drive through there.
Snort Dodge/Fort Dirty, Sewer City, and Ottumwa are **** holes. Fortunately I have never lived there, just traveled/stayed in them for work.
I did a year in Columbus, OH. Best city in OH, but that's like having the skinniest fat girl. Ohio sucks, it's like EA Iowa on steroids.

That is a bold faced lie. I have family that works there. You can most definitely tell when there are captain crunch days and crunch berries days.
This is truth. Lived in CR for 19 years, and you know when Captain Crunch was being made. You also know when the wind is blowing from the south because the entire town reeks of *** from the paper plant just south of 30.
Waterloo IA. Car stolen out of our driveway. Got it back after 3 days of Pot smoking and god knows what from the thiefs in the car. Stole the CD player out of it shortly after that right beside our house. Back window was also bashed out at George With park while we were on the trails.
Creston IA also sucks but I guess most people think that the town they grew up in sucks. Nothin to do but drink and do drugs (meth is the drug of choice) and fight with anyone who is not from Creston. This is why I never go anywhere but family's house when I go back, that and avoiding th d-bag from high school that thinks we are great friends yet we havent talked since last time he cornered me when I was stupid enough to go out in public.

Oh god yes...KC worst place by far. I won't go as far as saying that I'll never set foot in that place again...it is a good place to visit and not to stay. Most of what you mentioned is more geared toward visitors.
P&L = Too saturated with d-bags from Johnson County
Westport = killed by P&L because of poor planning
Plaza = still ok for what it is worth, poor pedestrian planning though
Bonner Springs = if racing is your thing, not mine really, but not bad
KC Royals = Royally suck, American league bottom feeder...yawn
KC Chiefs = (see KC Royals above) yawn
Worlds of Fun = not bad
KC Zoo = no animals! Omaha has it beat.
Boulevard Brewing = my favorite product if the city, but you can get it other places in the Midwest.
Resturaunt/bars = again, if you live there you won't be going every night
Lake of the Ozarks = long travel for some form of recreational body of water, but ok.
St Louis/Omaha = long drive for such average cities.
But, to each their own. Try living in the city for a few years and you'll get it. Imagine the egotistical air of KU fans instilled in everyone from there or near there. But again, to each their own.
That reminds me...need to change my city in my profile.
I'd say Iowa City, Iowa.
Ok haven't lived there but I've been through there... looks like a pretty ****** town...
No but seriously over by the mall where my brothers live is terrible, especially in the winter. Narrow streets on hills that get covered in snow and ice... terrible. Population on a whole are a bunch of *** holes and idiots too...
I have/kind of still do. I'm in NL right now which isn't so bad....but it still sucks.
