I've never been to North America. New Orleans considered the worst NA city because of Hurricane Katrina's path.

Recently added in the downtown area - OKC Art Museum, OKC Thunder basketball, Shakespeare in the Park, a bowling alley, a skate park, a movie theater, ice skating in the winter, plus lots of shops and places to eat. There are reasons to not like OKC, such as massive urban sprawl (hate - which is why I live DT), can only buy wine in a liquor store, still only 3.2 beer in grocery stores, and the conservative mentality throughout, but not having anything to do is not one of them. Also there are areas of progressive minded people and also artistic people that make it all OK! You should visit again sometime! |

Anywhere in Iowa. Nothing but farmers and gangstas.
I remember being in downtown Des Moines on business several years ago, and when I checked into the hotel they warned me not to go out after dark because of drive-by shootings! |

The people train runs through Newton, Kansas, which is north of Wichita by about 13-17 miles, I think. There is a train station downtown, but it's been
used for years as the Cox Communication building (which is no longer the case).
The drive to Kansas City is boring as shit....well, driving anywhere from Wichita is boring as shit because it's all flat lands. If you look at the map of the US, it could be said that Wichita is the butthole of America. |

I'd agree with Wichita. It's in that flat, nothing but wheat area of the country. Makes Oklahoma look interesting.

Syracuse combines the worst qualties of red and blue America.
The taxation rates have driven out all the conservative fiscal achievers. The antiquated social views repel the liberal artistic types. This makes downtown syracuse a year-round white trash festival. |

Philadelphia gets my vote. The City of Brotherly HATE! The only city in the United States where the police have literally bombed a row house from a
helicopter. Killed a bunch of members of some group, too. Lots and lots of hate there...
I think Los Angeles deserves at least a dishonorable mention in the category. The sprawl, the ghettos, the endless miles of rubber stamp housing...gangs, illegals, drugs...L.A. has it all! Still beats Philly, though. |
