Gee, I can think of a few! One, is the central coast of California where there is a lot of pollution, lousy locals, garbage jobs, bad housing and lots of old crabby retirees. The other place is the whole state of Washington! I wish they'd disband from the union and start their own country. I guess any cruddy small town with small minds applies here!

I got it! Rock Springs, Wyoming. It is an armpit that reeks. Unfriendly people, barren landscape, cruel ice cold windy winters, huge mob presence, corrupt cops, rampant prostitution, gun happy roughnecks, and drunken rednecks.

I've heard it's Compton, Ca. But Philly has pretty scary neighborhoods, itself.
